New beta feature: Kubecost

We are excited to announce that we have added Kubecost as an optional feature to our Platform. Kubecost is a tool that helps you to manage your Kubernetes costs by providing visibility into your AWS and Kubernetes resource usage and costs. At the moment we are shaping our FinOps offering and Kubecost is part of that. If you are interested in trying out Kubecost, or have questions regarding our FinOps offering please reach out to us through your Skyscrapers lead.

How does it work?

Kubecost works by collecting data from your Kubernetes cluster and your AWS account. On Kubernetes this is done by deploying a Kubecost agent that collects data from your cluster. On AWS, Kubecost uses the AWS Cost and Usage Report API to generate and collect data on your AWS costs to then query it with Athena. Kubecost then processes this data to provide you with a detailed breakdown of your costs in their dashboards.

How to get started?

At the moment we are shaping our FinOps offering and Kubecost is part of that.
