Cost Optimization

KubeStellar Console includes cost optimization cards on the Cost dashboard.

Right-Size Advisor

The Right-Size Advisor card analyzes workload resource requests and limits against actual utilization to identify over-provisioned workloads.

What It Shows

  • Workloads with CPU requests significantly above actual usage
  • Workloads with memory requests above the P95 usage watermark
  • Estimated monthly savings from right-sizing
  • Recommended new resource values

Adding the Card

The Right-Size Advisor is available on the Cost dashboard by default. It can also be added to any custom dashboard via Console Studio.

Cluster Costs Card

The Cluster Costs card shows estimated cloud infrastructure costs per cluster, broken down by compute, storage, and network. Both the Right-Size Advisor and Cluster Costs cards are sized at half-width to allow side-by-side comparison.

GPU Metrics

GPU memory metrics are now sourced from the DCGM exporter (feat(gpu): scrape DCGM exporter for real GPU memory metrics, PR #9314) when available, providing accurate real-time GPU utilization data instead of estimated values.
