Measuring All the Costs with OpenCost Plugins - Alex Meijer, Stackwatch
Thursday November 14, 2024 3:25pm - 4:00pm MST
Salt Palace | Level 1 | Grand Ballroom B
The CNCF OpenCost project is approaching 5,000 stars on GitHub and has become one of the most popular cost monitoring systems in use. Originally focused on cloud provider and Kubernetes cost monitoring, OpenCost expanded its scope in May 2024 by launching OpenCost Plugins with Datadog as the first reference implementation. These plugins allow users to measure and visualize virtually any cost in OpenCost, without writing a single line of OpenCost code. Alex Meijer, OpenCost and OpenCost Plugins maintainer, will speak on how the OpenCost Plugins ecosystem works and will dive into the use of the open-source FOCUS spec in OpenCost, which is the key to being able to measure nearly any cost. A plugin-enabled OpenCost deployment will be demoed, with an external cost (Datadog) visualized alongside the traditional Kubernetes and cloud provider costs. Alex will also share how to get started with plugins so that users can start analyzing the costs of whatever matters to their unique use case!
