Sponsored Session: Introducing OpenCost
summary
OpenCost is an Apache 2.0 CNCF project that provides minute‑level cost attribution for Kubernetes clusters, running a contributed core allocation engine that supports AWS GCP Azure and on‑prem and integrates with Prometheus OpenTelemetry Grafana. It maps cluster costs into allocation vs usage vs overhead, exposes per‑namespace controller pod and container charges, and can ingest cloud CURs to reflect reserved or savings plans. Early installs show huge idle waste often 80–90% idle with typical post‑workshop reductions toward 60–75% idle.
