Show HN: Kubernetes Cost Visibility for Amazon EKS

We just launched Kubernetes Cost Visibility for customers on Amazon EKS - this is our second container product that we're supporting costs for as we already support AWS Fargate.
We've heard from customers that K8S is consistently one of the more difficult things to get visibility into costs for. As K8S services are separate from the underlying EC2 instances you need to collect data about the lifecycles of pods and join that together with the pricing information of the underlying EC2 instances this services run on.
Vantage now does this in a turn-key manner. We pull together data from AWS service APIs, Cost and Usage Report data as well as metrics collected about the Kubernetes services themselves to produce a simple report per EKS Cluster. This gives you a breakdown for each K8S service and gives you the ability to infer underutilization on the cluster to make rightsizing decision as well.
Happy to answer any questions - but I encourage you to sign up and give it a go.
- Vantage is entirely self-service. You don’t need to schedule a demo or talk to our sales team to get up and running. We also have a generous free tier and free trial for all non enterprise users (but even then we can setup a free trial the same day typically).
- We recently launched what we call advanced analytics which gives Vantage customers per-resource accrued cost data for every AWS resource broken down by category and subcategory. So for every AWS resource in your account you can dig very deep into the costs that resource is driving. So you can imagine clicking things like an SQS Queue, SNS Topic and S3 Bucket to see how much in costs its contributing over time without the need to do any tagging.
- Vantage also integrates into AWS service APIs directly. This gives us the ability to show you a live inventory of active resources driving costs. As far as I know we are the only cost provider that does this.
