Install the Kubernetes Agent

  1. Add the repo and install:
Terminal window
helm repo add clustercost https://charts.clustercost.io
helm upgrade --install clustercost-agent clustercost/agent \
--namespace clustercost \
--create-namespace \
--set clusterName="prod-eu-west-1"
  1. Provide AWS credentials (read-only) via a secret or IRSA so the agent can pull pricing.
  2. Label namespaces or workloads with cost.clustercost.io/tenant if you want per-customer reporting from day one.

The DaemonSet will appear in kubectl get pods -n clustercost and start streaming metrics within about a minute.
