Kubecost 2.0 Release Notes

Announcing Kubecost 2.0!

Important Information:
Kubecost 2.0 is a major upgrade from previous versions and includes major new features including a brand new API Backend. Please review the following documentation to ensure a smooth transition: https://docs.kubecost.com/install-and-configure/install/kubecostv2
For the full list of enhancements, please see our release notes: https://github.com/kubecost/cost-analyzer-helm-chart/releases/tag/v2.0.0

Important Notice

If you are upgrading from any version less than 2.0 (Eg. 1.108 or prior) - You will lose your saved reports on upgrade if you upgrade directly to 2.0 - We are currently working on a workaround to copy reports to your new install! We'll post an update here when we have it!

Major

  • Kubecost Aggregator becomes part of Kubecost’s default architecture and API backend, replacing Federator component of federated ETL environments
  • Thanos, query service replicas, and cost-model statefulSet mode are no longer supported as Federated ETL + Aggregator becomes default. Kubecost customers using Thanos for multi-cluster metric federation should consult the migration guide to ensure a seamless upgrade and retain all historical data access
  • New Advanced Networking page visualizes network connections and displays ingress/egress costs
  • Kubecost Actions promoted to GA out of beta: UI updates to Kubecost Actions page and features Automated Request Sizing, Cluster Turndown, and Namespace Turndown
  • New Collections page to replace Cost Center Reports
  • New Anomaly Detection page displays potential irregular spend in cloud services
  • New Teams page which supports assigning RBAC to users in Kubecost environment
  • Visualization added to Container Request Right-Sizing page displaying requested vs. recommended spend; additional filtering and sorting added
  • Forecasting feature across Allocations, Assets, and Cloud Cost Explorer pages which displays projected future costs
  • Label tags added to Cloud Cost Explorer line items for additional filtering

Minor

  • Filter button added to Allocations, Assets, and Cloud Cost Explorer dashboards, and Persistent Volume Right-Sizing Recommendations page
  • Failure message appears when trying to install/upgrade Kubecost with pod security policies enabled
  • Users of the Aggregator Beta releases (available in v1.107.X and v1.108.X of the Helm chart) will need to delete and recreate the Aggregator StatefulSet before upgrading to v2.X because the Volume configuration has been altered. This will initiate a rebuild of the Aggregator data store; expect some downtime upon upgrading. No data will be lost.
  • Updated Cluster Controller to v0.14.0
  • Updated default row count on pages for Allocations, Assets, and Cloud Cost Explorer from 10 to 25.
  • Fixed a bug where Network Costs did not display any cross-zone traffic
  • Updated to current versions of Kubecost Cluster Controller, Grafana, Prometheus, push-gateway, configmapReloader, alertmanager
  • Node-exporter and Prometheus configMap Reloader are now disabled by default
  • If configMap reloader is enabled, fix duplicate security context
  • Add coreCount endpoint
  • Add ingress className for prometheus server
  • Removed helm subcharts, moved required components to main chart
  • Liveness probes check from 30s to 10s, faster pod startup
  • Fix pod probe templates

Known Issues

  • Sharing parameters of the /model/allocation API have no effect in v2.0.0. If you consume the /model/allocation API directly and need sharing support, please consider if you can use the /model/allocation/summary API as a stopgap or wait until an upcoming release reintroduces support. Sharing via Kubecost's web frontend is unaffected and behaves as expected.
  • The Inspect Shared Costs button on the Allocations page of Kubecost's UI will not display information. An upcoming release will reintroduce support for this feature.
  • Adds a section to bug reports for multi-cluster diagnostics

Bugs

  • Fixed a bug where drilling down into assets provider item attempted to filter by providerID
  • Fixed a bug where the Allocation Details page did not show the names of cloud services linked to a namespace when data was derived from the Cloud Usage pipeline.
  • Fixed parsing error which occurs after removing time zone from timestamp fields
  • Fixed a bug where daily step sizes would fail to load Allocations data
    And many, many, many...many more

Kubecost Edge Release

v1.108 is an Edge Release - This means this release is focused on new features and ideas for the Kubecost product! If you require a longer term support version, we encourage you to use the current Production Release (1.106 at time of this release.) or contact us at [email protected] questions.

Many of the newest Kubecost features require our new architecture, Kubecost Aggregator. If you are interested in leveraging this new architecture, please contact your Technical Success Manager or reach out to us at [email protected].

Major

Aggregator only

  • Autocomplete - Most text box entries will now autocomplete to help find the values the user is looking for. This has been implemented on Allocations, Assets, Cloud Cost Explorer, and Budgets pages.
  • Cloud Cost Explorer will now display percentage changes in cloud costs over time.

Non-Aggregator

  • The Request Sizing API is now easier to understand with new usage data added to help demonstrate average and max usage as well as the recommended request sizing and proposed savings.
  • Budget rules can now be created for labels
  • The resources field has been removed from the budgets API response.

Minor

  • Added support for scaleway providers.
  • Added more tracing for aggregator queries for better observability and to aid in troubleshooting.
  • GCP Committed Use Discounts Amortization to allow for flexible CUDs for Big Query Cloud Cost Integration.
  • #2815 Simplified support for OpenShift (see documentation for these changes here)
  • Some subchart Deployments like Prometheus and Grafana had their Pod-level securityContext to be (correctly) reordered so it is highest in the precedence list. If you are setting securityContext at a granular level, it is recommended to discontinue that practice and let global-level defaults take over.
  • Predictions API now supports POSTing with JSON rather than just YAML
  • Updated Kubecost Cluster Controller image to v0.13.0
  • Updated Kubecost Network Cost image to v0.17.2
  • Updated Thanos image to v0.32.5
  • Updated Prometheus Server image to v2.48.1
  • Updated Prometheus node exporter image to v1.7.0
  • Updated Prometheus Pushgateway image to v1.6.2
  • Updated Prometheus config reloader image to v0.69.1
  • Updated Grafana image to 10.2.2
