Workload-Aware Database Monitoring and Consolidation

Summary: Kairos is a workload-aware database consolidation system modeling hardware needs and predicting resources. Optimizes nonlinear optimization to minimize servers with balanced load, beating VM consolidation up to 12x and reducing deployments by 5.5x–17x. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
