A punchy list of cost and reliability anti-patterns plus the fixes that ClusterCost users apply in the real world.
Combine ClusterCost’s OSS dashboard with Grafana and Parquet exports to give every stakeholder actionable insights.
Traditional AWS reports miss pods, namespaces, and tenants—FinOps teams need workload-aware telemetry to drive action.
Requests keep the cluster stable, limits prevent noisy neighbors, and both drive cost—here’s how to tune them.
Adopt a battle-tested tagging schema that keeps ClusterCost, AWS Billing, and finance dashboards in sync.
Quantify zombie capacity, catch misconfigured autoscalers, and automate remediation with ClusterCost.
Blend ClusterCost exports with simple math to predict spend per namespace, team, or customer.
Detailed formulas for allocating EC2 and Fargate spend to each ECS task, including shared networking and storage.
AWS Cost Explorer cannot see pods, namespaces, or spot dynamics—learn the gaps and how ClusterCost fills them.
Model better instance families, blend spot/on-demand capacity, and validate savings with ClusterCost.
Understand every line item that ends up on your EKS bill and how to forecast costs before creating a cluster.
Use requests vs. usage signals, performance guardrails, and ClusterCost automations to right-size pods safely.
Compare pricing levers, operational overhead, and optimization pathways before committing to Kubernetes or ECS.
Adopt a tagging blueprint, reporting cadence, and governance model that keeps engineering and finance aligned.
Walk through two anonymized namespaces and learn the math behind their monthly AWS charges.
Identify the ten most expensive Kubernetes anti-patterns and learn the exact playbooks to eliminate them.
Follow this framework to price every pod accurately across on-demand, reserved, and spot node groups.
Break down ECS spend per service, task, and environment—even when you mix EC2 and Fargate.
Learn how to align Kubernetes spend with the workloads and teams that generate it, without drowning in spreadsheets.
Use repeatable formulas to translate AWS bills into per-cluster, per-node, and per-namespace costs with ClusterCost.
