Cost & FinOps

The Cost & FinOps view (a Kubius Pro feature) estimates what your workloads cost each month, broken down by namespace, with right-sizing savings. Open it from the FEATURES band in the sidebar.

Cost is estimated from resource requests - what reserves capacity on a node, and so what you effectively pay to schedule - at rates you set. It’s an estimate to guide decisions, not a cloud bill.

Setting your rates

At the top of the page set:

  • Per vCPU-hour - your blended cost of a CPU core per hour.
  • Per GiB-hour - your blended cost of a gigabyte of memory per hour.
  • Currency - the symbol to display.

Sensible cloud defaults are pre-filled; adjust them to your committed-use or negotiated pricing. The monthly figures assume 730 hours. A Hide system namespaces toggle keeps kube-system and friends out of the view.

What you see

  • Estimated monthly cost for the whole cluster, with total requested vCPU and memory.
  • By namespace - each namespace’s pod count, requested vCPU, requested memory and monthly cost, sorted by spend so the expensive namespaces are first.

Right-sizing savings

If you’ve run Right-Sizing on a workload, this section shows what you could reclaim: the current request cost versus the cost at the recommended requests, and the monthly saving - totalled across every analysed workload. It covers continuously-running workloads - Deployments, StatefulSets and DaemonSets (a DaemonSet is priced by the number of nodes it’s scheduled on). CronJobs are excluded, since their pods run on a schedule rather than around the clock. Workloads you haven’t analysed yet don’t appear here; run a Right-Sizing analysis to add them.

Notes

  • Cost is based on requests, not live usage or limits - it reflects reserved capacity.
  • Savings use your latest right-sizing analysis for each workload, with the same per-workload multipliers (safety margins) and rounding shown on the Right-Sizing page - so the figures here match it.
  • This is an estimate for prioritisation; reconcile against your provider’s billing for exact figures.
