Cost and Usage details from a Kubernetes cluster

• CloudHealth

Issue/Introduction

To get cost and usage details, follow these steps:

1. Add your EKS, AKS, GKE, TKG, or CNCF conformant cluster via Setup > Containers > Clusters https://apps.cloudhealthtech.com/containers_clusters. Either select to deploy our Kubernetes collector via HELM (recommended deploy method) or manually.

2. Once the collector is successfully deployed, upgrade the HELM chart by running:

helm upgrade cloudhealth-collector cloudhealth/cloudhealth-collector

3. After upgrading, install the Kubernetes metrics server by running:

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/metrics-server/releases/latest/download/components.yaml

Resolution

Within 15 minutes the cluster's status and metrics column switch to "Healthy", and "Active" on the clusters page linked above:

Installing a Kubernetes collector will allow the platform to pull in metrics and populate the Kubernetes reports.

Be sure to select the proper cloud (Top of the page) before viewing your Kubernetes cost. For example, if clusters are AKS then the cloud should be scoped to Azure.
