In Cloud\u2019s Chronology, Kubernetes is most widely used container orchestrator to deploy microservices. In its ecosystem, maintenance is quite challenging. Though numerous companies are grappling daily to quantify\/monitor cost utilisation for their running clusters because 99.99% uptime or High Availability of clusters is a bit costly.<\/p>\n

How to Quantify K8s Usage Cost<\/em><\/h2>\n

If we could know how much we spend cloud resources? Can we bifurcate the usage cost based on different K8s objects, such as services, namespaces, pods, containers, and other groups? Is KUBECOST<\/strong> is answer to those questions?<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/em><\/h2>\n

Kubecost<\/a> is a cost monitoring and management tool which helps us to quantify the K8s usage cost in our cluster. It comes with real-time cost visibility, which allows our teams to track, manage and lower spend. It is available in both edition, Community as well as Enterprise. Enterprise Edition has added features such as report saving, user auth, sso, extended metrics retention, enterprise support.<\/p>\n
