AWS-native tools

  • • Cost Explorer: cost by service and tag, trends over time
  • • Cost Anomaly Detection: detect abnormal cost increases
  • • AWS Budgets: alerts when a budget is exceeded
  • • Container Insights: CPU, memory, I/O usage and over-provisioning

Kubecost

  • • Cost by namespace, deployment, service, node
  • • Resource efficiency and cost optimization recommendations
  • • Cost allocation and chargeback reports; anomaly and budget alerts

Custom cost dashboard

  • • Collect Prometheus metrics -> Grafana dashboard -> integrate Cost Explorer API
  • • Optimization score: request-to-usage ratio, node utilization, Spot ratio, idle ratio
