OpenCost Configuration

What You'll Get

Plural uses OpenCost to gather cost data for any deployed cluster. This works by:

• deploying an OpenCost instance per cluster, which acts as a lightweight agent exposing no web UI.
• configuring an extractor to periodically scrape that instance and ship the data to our central store for historical retrieval and analysis.

This provides a seamless multi-cluster experience for OpenCost data and, combined with Plural's built-in deployment knowledge and AI capabilities, can also automate the remediation of overprovisioning with our PR generation capabilities.

Once configured, you'll get:

A full fleet-wide dashboard for cost information:

A dashboard for a specific cluster:

A namespace granularity breakdown of costs in a cluster:
