With the rapid growth in popularity and adoption rate of container technology and Kubernetes the need for cost monitoring is increasing. Having a good cost accountant will help in providing insights for unanticipated costs accrued at the end of billing cycle and allowing the cluster owner in understanding how exactly the infrastructure’s budget is being distributed across teams.In this presentation, we’ll talk in detail how Purser, an open source project provides resource and cost visibility for a Kubernetes cluster. We will focus on how Purser utilizes Kubernetes Custom Resource definitions (CRD) to support creation of “teams” for which Purser computes cost associated with them. Further we will demo and discuss on how these valuable insights will help make important budget-based decisions by understanding the expenditure trend of the teams.
