DoK Community #43 Kubecost: open source cost monitoring for Kubernetes // Webb Brown

Measuring costs in Kubernetes environments is complex. Applications and their resources needs are often dynamic. Teams share resources without transparent prices attached to workloads while organizations are increasingly running resources on a range of machine types and even cloud providers. Kubecost provides an approach built on open source for ensuring consistent and accurate visibility across all your workloads. This discussion will talk about practical examples for implementing cost monitoring & optimization and managing the data that is generated from these efforts.
