Kubecost

• Real-time cost allocation: attributes Kubernetes spend to namespace, pod, deployment, service, label, and team at sub-minute granularity using kube-state-metrics, cAdvisor, and cloud billing APIs
• ML rightsizing recommendations: analyzes 30-day P95 CPU and memory utilization per container and recommends resource request reductions with projected monthly savings
• Network cost tracking: identifies cross-zone, cross-region, and internet egress costs attributed to specific pods and namespaces — a cost driver absent from most Kubernetes cost tools
• OpenCost compatibility: upstream project behind the CNCF OpenCost specification, ensuring data portability and standards compliance with the broader ecosystem
• Cost alerts and anomaly detection: configurable alerts for namespace spend thresholds and real-time anomaly detection for unexpected cost spikes before the billing cycle closes
• Open-core self-hosted distribution: full single-cluster cost visibility and rightsizing are free; multi-cluster aggregation, SSO, and long-term retention require Enterprise
