summary
Claims that 70% of companies either estimate or don't monitor Kubernetes costs, and that cost answers require linking cloud bills, discounts and reservations into monitoring. Practical tools and patterns: Kubecost, CloudHealth, "loadability" plus dashboards; enforce standardized labels and deployment policies; use VPA for stateful, HPA for stateless, and cluster autoscaler for nodes; build automated weekend shutdowns and budget reports for finance. A deployed weekend-shutdown policy collided with autoscalers and triggered noisy alerts, showing integration matters.
