The Resource Audit page puts three numbers side by side for every workload — what the deploy template requests, what Autopilot recommends, and what the live pod is actually running — and flags where they’ve drifted apart. It’s the vertical (sizing) counterpart to HPA Audit: a place to find workloads whose resources are stale, mis-set, or diverged, and put them right.

​
What drift looks like

Over time a workload’s live resources can diverge from its template for legitimate reasons (an in-place resize, an OOM bump, an operator floor) or accidental ones (a stale annotation, a half-applied change). The audit makes each visible:
  • template vs recommendation — the workload is over- or under-provisioned relative to what usage says it needs.
  • template vs pod — the running pod no longer matches what the Deployment declares.
  • QoS drift — the template is Guaranteed but the live pod is Burstable (or vice-versa), which affects eviction priority.
Filter by namespace, kind, drift type, whether a recommendation exists, or whether the workload carries Autopilot annotations. QoS-specific filters (truly-guaranteed, drift) isolate the workloads where QoS class matters.

​
Remediation

Each row offers targeted, idempotent actions — and any of them can be applied in bulk to up to 500 workloads at once (concurrency-limited, with per-item error reporting):
Every action is blocked on the controller’s own namespace (ops-ai) — Autopilot never resets or restarts itself. “Reset to deploy” also clears LimitExceptions so a stale exception’s reject can’t later revert the workload back toward its pre-reset values.

​
When to use it

  • After a migration or a period of manual tuning, to find workloads that drifted and reconcile them to a known-good baseline.
  • To undo Autopilot on a specific workload — “reset to deploy” is the clean off-switch for one workload’s sizing.
  • To spot QoS drift before it causes a surprise eviction ordering.
The page is in the Optimization navigation area. For setting hard bounds on what Autopilot may recommend (rather than resetting), see Resource Overrides.
