Exploring Kubernetes Cost
Kubernetes cost allocations will appear in CloudZero the next billing data ingestion for your cost source. After that, you can view cost allocation data in the Explorer and view a list of clusters on the Kubernetes Integration page.
View Cost Allocations in the Explorer
You can filter and group costs by Kubernetes Dimensions in the CloudZero Explorer. Viewing and filtering is available by namespace, cluster, workload, or label.
For example, in the following image, the Group By drop-down menu is set to the Kubernetes Cluster Dimension:
To group by a different Dimension, select the Group By drop-down menu and choose a different Dimension.
After you have grouped by a Kubernetes Dimension, you can set a filter to further narrow the view:
- In the Explorer, click + Add.
- Choose a Dimension from the drop-down list. Kubernetes Dimensions include cluster, namespace, workload, and label keys.
- Choose one or more Dimension values from the drop-down list.
- Optionally, select the
isoperator and choose a different operator (is not,contains,does not contain) for the filter. For example, selectis notto show only costs that do not match the selected dimension value(s). - Optionally, repeat the previous steps to filter by additional Dimensions.
- Select Apply.
In the following example, as shown in the image, the allocated costs are filtered to show only existing clusters within the kube-system namespace:
View Cluster List and Details
To view a list of Kubernetes clusters connected to CloudZero, navigate to Settings > Kubernetes Integration. The Kubernetes Integration page opens, showing the following information for each cluster:
- Cluster name
- Account ID
- Request Activity graph
- Last Ingest
- Agent Version
- Status (Connected or Disconnected, or Upgrade Required.)
You can search cluster names or account IDs, filter the list by cluster status, or both. You can use the Setup Instructions button to display the Helm commands to connect a Kubernetes cluster.
Click on a cluster name to display the Cluster Details page for that cluster.
This page shows the Kubernetes Version, Node Count, Region, Pod Count, Account ID, and date and time of Last Ingest Success. A graph showing the number of files received over the last 30 days is provided.
Agent Details are also provided: Agent Info, Kube State Metrics, CAdvisor, SSL Certificate, Insights Controller, Labels, and Annotations. You can click the Open in Explorer button to see the cluster details in the Explorer.
