Amazon EKS

Prerequisites

For a complete list of Kubernetes metric definitions please see our supporting documentation.

Our sources of truth for the metrics are CloudWatch. We use a combination of these to pull the metrics and to understand what Accounts your clusters are running in.

Those metrics in combination with the pricing table allow us to do the required calculations.

AWS EKS Visibility Summary

Purpose: This section is designed to give you a high level overview of what you're spending on AWS EKS at the Cluster level in your accounts.

Measures:

Total Cost: Total cost of all of the associated clusters. This is gross cost and does not include any GCP related discounts you receive.
Used / Total Cores: The first number if the number of used cores and the second is the amount of total allocated cores to all the clusters.
Used / Total Bytes: The first number is the amount of used ram and the second is the amount of total allocated ram to all the clusters.

You are able to switch the timeframe using the date fields

You can also switch between a cluster view and a namespace view.

You also have the ability to narrow the scope to a particular Account or include All Accounts
