You also need solutions such as Metrics-Server or Prometheus' Node-Exporter to track your cluster's resource utilization and broader activity. You can learn more about setting up Prometheus for Kubernetes by reading our separate tutorial, or check out our round-up of 20+ Popular DevOps Monitoring Tools to find more options for implementing cluster observability.

prometheus-operator
Prometheus Operator creates/configures/manages Prometheus clusters atop Kubernetes
I chose to deploy Prometheus with Kibana using the Kubernetes prometheus operator which greatly simplifies the deployment process. This stack is widely used in the professional world, so I wanted to explore it.

coroot
Coroot is an open-source APM & Observability tool, a DataDog and NewRelic alternative. Metrics, logs, traces, continuous profiling, and SLO-based alerting, supercharged with predefined dashboards and inspections.
I'm currently working with Coroot, which is an open source project trying to create a solution for this issue of logs and other telemetry sources being too much for any team to reasonably have time to parse manually. Data is automatically imported using eBPF and Coroot will provide insights into RCA (with things like mapped incident time-frames) to help with anything overlooked in dumps.
GitHub here - hope the tool can help some folks in this thread! https://github.com/coroot/coroot

Project mention: Kubernetes Cost Management with the New OpenCost Plugin for Headlamp | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-14
I believe for AWS, they use these ratios: https://github.com/opencost/opencost/blob/c2de805f66d0ba0e53...
So in your example, 6 CPU + 16GiB is roughly 2x more than 2 CPU and 16GiB, so if that node cost say $6/hr, you'd expect it to be allocated $2 to the first and $4 to the second.
They have these weights for various clouds here: https://github.com/opencost/opencost/tree/c2de805f66d0ba0e53...

Kube-State-Metrics is an agent service that listens to the Kubernetes API and generates metrics about the state of cluster objects, such as deployments, nodes, and pods. Unlike resource metrics (like CPU or memory usage), it provides insights into object-level data, such as the number of replicas or pod status, making it useful for monitoring the desired versus actual state of Kubernetes components.
