opencost

Cost monitoring for Kubernetes workloads and cloud costs

Monitoring mixin for Kubernetes cost monitoring. A set of Grafana dashboards and Prometheus rules for OpenCost.

CODA is a web app for academic libraries and research institutions to manage the full open access publication fee workflow: funding requests, review/approval, invoicing, and openCost cost reporting.

Sample of using OpenCost on AKS

Kubernetes cost allocation, logs, continuous profiling and eBPF network cost in one install. OpenCost- and Loki-compatible APIs, rightsizing that applies through guarded CRDs, and read-only agents with an MCP server.

NeuroScale is a self-service AI inference platform on Kubernetes. A developer fills in a Backstage form, the platform creates a pull request, ArgoCD deploys it, and a production-grade KServe inference endpoint is live — with cost attribution, drift control, and policy guardrails enforced automatically at every stage.

Production-grade Kubernetes controller for automated cost governance with OpenCost integration

KubeScope is the Kubernetes dashboard for teams who care what each pod costs and which deployment just broke the budget. Real per-namespace cost, live cluster pulse, alerts that mean something, and a calm UI with motion that earns its place.

Cloud-Native IDP & GitOps platform featuring Argo CD (App-of-Apps), Terraform, OpenTelemetry, LGTM Stack (Grafana/Prometheus/Loki/Tempo), and OpenCost on Kubernetes/k3s. Built for zero-idle multi-tenant platform engineering.

Actual cost of Argo CD applications, from OpenCost, inside the Argo CD UI

End-to-end CNCF MLOps pipeline reference architecture on Kubernetes: Volcano gang scheduling, OpenCost GPU cost attribution, KServe LLM serving, HAMi, KAITO, KitOps, and in-toto. KubeCon EU 2026 tutorial.

OpenLens revived: free Kubernetes IDE with Gateway API, DRA, Argo CD, Flux, Trivy security, OpenCost, and metrics without Prometheus

Kubernetes cost collection and allocation with OpenCost, an existing Prometheus, Helm, Terraform/OpenTofu and production operations documentation

依部門標籤把 OpenCost 成本拆成各部門的帳，在 Rancher 裡看；Rust aggregated API＋Rancher UI extension，部門可見範圍由 RBAC 決定（Python 版在 demo 分支）

Split the unattributed cost of a shared Kubernetes cluster across the namespaces that share it.

Production Cloud-Native Microservices & GitOps Platform on AWS EKS Auto Mode (v1.31). Built with Two-Tier Ephemeral Terraform (~$1/mo idle cost, 95% savings), Argo CD, Argo Rollouts Canary, Keyless OIDC Supply Chain Security (Trivy, Syft SBOM, Cosign), Shared ALB + WAFv2, ESO (IRSA), RDS MySQL, Redis 7, Prometheus, Loki, and OpenCost FinOps.

Production-style AWS EKS platform reference: Terraform, GitHub OIDC, Argo CD, Cosign/Kyverno, Falco/Trivy, SLOs, OpenCost & DR patterns

Local-first Internal Developer Platform with Backstage, Argo CD, Kubernetes, golden paths, observability, policy, secrets, cost, and recovery validation.

Multi-cloud FinOps dashboard — Grafana, Opencost, LLM recommendations, AWS + Azure + GCP cost consolidation.
