Cost Explorer

Cost Explorer presents a powerful exploration tool for costs, allows you slice and dice by Kubernetes labels, browse historical costs, and spot anomalies.

Cost Explorer is currently in preview.

Use Cost Explorer to group costs by Kubernetes labels and understand how costs are evolving.

Key Features

Grouping

Use the Group option to select which labels you want to group costs by. Use this option when you have a workload running across multiple clusters, and you want to understand the total cost across all environments.

Currently, only cluster, namespace, and workload labels are supported. As Cost Explorer evolves, you can group cost data by other labels, including custom labels defined by application and platform teams.

Filtering

Use the Filtering option to filter the cost data by specific label values. For example, only return costs from production clusters. You can save or favorite filters for future use.

Time selection

The time selection picker controls the timeframe of the graph.
