How the Integration Works
Vantage looks at pod lifecycle data and the underlying nodes that pods run on. By joining the lifecycle data of each pod (along with the greater of either the reserved or actual CPU/memory prescribed) with the specific rate information of the underlying node, Vantage allocates subcategories of the node (vCPU, memory, GPU, storage, etc.) to the pod. The lifecycle of the EC2 instance is also automatically determined (On-Demand, Spot, Reserved, Savings Plans, EDP, etc.). This allows you to see costs by the following dimensions:- By container name
- By Kubernetes service
- By Kubernetes namespace
- By Kubernetes label
Enable Kubernetes Costs
To get started, follow the instructions for setting up the Vantage Kubernetes agent.Manage Workspace Access
Once your costs are imported, select which workspaces this integration is associated with. See the Workspaces documentation for information.Data Refresh
See the provider data refresh documentation for information on when data for each provider refreshes in Vantage.Reporting Dimensions
On Kubernetes Cost Reports, you can filter across several dimensions:- Account (associated account name)
- Grouping (includes Kubernetes grouping names and values and virtual tags created in Vantage for this provider)
- Region (e.g., Westus2)
- Charge Type (e.g., Usage)
- Cluster (cluster name)
