OpenCost — your favorite open source cost monitoring tool for Kubernetes

OpenCost models give teams visibility into current and historical Kubernetes spend and resource allocation. These models provide cost transparency in Kubernetes environments that support multiple applications, teams, departments, etc.

OpenCost was originally developed and open sourced by Kubecost. This project combines a specification as well as a Golang implementation of these detailed requirements.
