GKE Lens

Google Cloud provides GKE cost allocation to assist customers in understanding their Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) costs. GKE cost allocation is based on resource requests, which are the lower bound on the amount of resources a container will receive. Such an approach makes GKE cost allocation more accurate and robust compared to consumption-based solutions.

Using the data provided by GKE cost allocation, you can easily build advanced reports with real-time visibility into your GKE spend and achieve the following:

Accurately track the total cost of ownership (TCO) of Kubernetes-based workloads across teams and product lines.
Plan better with realistic Kubernetes-based budgets.
Forecast and identify trends across Kubernetes primitives.

DoiT GKE Lens consists of pre-built report widgets that highlight various aspects of your GKE spend, leveraging the GKE cost allocation data.
