Optimize your K8 with data at a glance

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I manage a azure k8 platform and many tenants on my clusters / containers are from various app teams I use Kubecost to provide cost transparency to my tenants so they can optimize their spend and make better cost effective architecture decisions for their apps

Pros

  • Show namespace level cost and usage
  • Allow rightisizibg At namespace level
  • Show effectiveness of current resources allocation

Cons

  • Agents installation and the ping fed integration
  • The amount of CPU Kubecost agents use

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for a k8 platform and the clients on the platform however doesn’t help as much for a total enterprise cloud cost that is not running on k8
