OpenCost
Monitor Kubernetes spend the Cloud Native way.

OpenCost is a vendor-neutral open source project for measuring and allocating cloud infrastructure and container costs in real time. It provides flexible cost allocation broken down by Kubernetes concepts to the container level, with integrations for AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-prem clusters. The project is maintained by a community of Kubernetes experts under The Linux Foundation.
OpenCost measures and allocates cloud and container costs in real time using dynamic asset pricing via cloud billing APIs, then exports data to tools like Prometheus.
