Grafana dashboard: VPA Recommendations
Description: Vertical Pod Autoscalar Recommendations vs. Utilization vs. Requests & Limits

# Vertical Pod Autoscaler Recommendation

Dashboard to view Vertical Pod Autoscaler recommendations, scraping Prometheus metrics.

## Prerequisites

You need to activate VPA, and exposed metrics from kube-state-metrics.

**Note** that it is designed to work o a multicluster environment, with a `cluster` label.

## Metrics configuration

See blog post here for more implementation details : [Medium Article](https://medium.com/linkbynet/request-limits-recommendations-using-vpa-goldilocks-and-grafana-2239b19bfd1)

## Sources

This dashboard is based from [sherifkayad](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/14588) one.
