Kubernetes cost reporting made easy

In the cloud-native era, Kubernetes has become the go-to solution for container orchestration, offering flexibility, scalability, and efficiency. However, managing costs can be challenging as Kubernetes environments grow in complexity. With CloudSpend, businesses can streamline their Kubernetes resource usage, avoid and reduce unnecessary spending, and ensure the maximum return on cloud investments.

Real-time visibility into Kubernetes costs

CloudSpend assigns costs using Kubernetes-specific tags, like Nodes and clusters. This detailed cost allocation allows for precise expense tracking, ensuring that costs are correctly attributed to the appropriate projects or teams within your multi-cloud environment.

Rightsize your workloads

Analyze resource requests and limits: Review CPU and memory requests to ensure they're appropriately set for each Pod.
Use the Vertical Pod Autoscaler: Automatically adjust Pod resources based on the actual usage, preventing over-allocation.
Leverage the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler: Dynamically scale your workloads based on the real-time demand, reducing idle resources.
Remove unused or underutilized resources: Identify and decommission workloads that are no longer necessary or are underutilized.

Optimize cluster Nodes

Use spot instances for non-critical workloads: Use cheaper spot instances for development or non-production workloads.
Autoscale Nodes: Implement the Cluster Autoscaler to automatically adjust the number of nodes based on the needs of your application.
Use rightsized instance types: Choose the optimal instance type for each workload to balance the cost and performance.
Leverage Node taints and tolerations: Ensure that high-cost Nodes are only used when necessary.

Improve storage efficiency

Delete unused persistent volumes: Regularly audit and remove orphaned or unused volumes.
Use appropriate storage tiers: Use lower-cost storage tiers for non-critical data and higher-cost tiers only for resources with high performance requirements.
Compress data: Enable storage features that reduce redundancy and optimize storage usage.
Monitor storage costs: Track storage consumption and set alerts for any abnormal spikes in storage usage.

Monitor and manage cloud costs

Monitor costs in real time: Use CloudSpend's real-time monitoring to gain insights into resource costs across namespaces and clusters.
Set budgets and alerts: Define cost thresholds for your Kubernetes environment and set up alerts to get notified when you approach those limits.
Track resource consumption by namespace: Break down cost reporting at the namespace level to pinpoint the most expensive workloads.
Audit costs continuously: Regularly review cloud cost reports and adjust your resource configurations to maintain cost-efficiency.
