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.

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

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.

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.

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.
