Traditionally, obtaining a clear view of the total cost for EC2 instances supporting your Amazon EKS has been straightforward. However, breaking down these costs to see how much each pod is consuming has remained a challenge—until now.
With Tailwarden, you can leverage the new custom widget feature to track and manage the cost per pod within your EKS environment. This enhancement not only simplifies cost monitoring but also provides precise insights into your Kubernetes operations, helping you optimize resource allocation and reduce unnecessary expenses.
To access this detailed data, simply navigate to the widget creation page on Tailwarden.
From there:
Set your filter to "Cloud Service: EKS Cluster."
Choose to group by "Resource."
These steps will configure your dashboard to display the cost per pod, offering a granular view of your spending. For a step-by-step guide on setting this up, please watch the accompanying video tutorial.
