  • cost-analyzer-helm-chart

    Kubecost helm chart

  • Kubecost can monitor the costs of Kubernetes in any environment, including air-gapped, on-prem, and cloud providers AWS, GCP, and Azure. In the Kubecost dashboard, you can see the following sections: Overview, Cost Allocation, Savings, Report, and Others. Integrates with cloud provider’s billing APIs to collect the actual costs and automatically updates it. Here's the Helm chart to install Prometheus, kube-state metrics, Grafana, and more.

  • vcluster

    vCluster - Create fully functional virtual Kubernetes clusters - Each vcluster runs inside a namespace of the underlying k8s cluster. It's cheaper than creating separate full-blown clusters and it offers better multi-tenancy and isolation than regular namespaces.

  • Loft is also the maintainer of open-source projects such as DevSpace and vcluster.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • devspace-plugin-loft

    Loft Plugin for DevSpace - adds commands like `devspace create space` or `devspace create vcluster` to DevSpace

  • Loft.sh provides self-serve Kubernetes solutions for cost optimization, CI/CD, policy enforcement, user management, collaboration, and more. It helps save on Kubernetes costs by using quotas and space constraints which helps while sharing your clusters among multiple users and teams. Auto delete for idle namespaces and sleep mode for idle workloads also saves costs.
