Introduction

Kubecost has already been deployed into your cluster. We can check to see if it's up and running. Run:

~$kubectl get deployment -n kubecost

kubecost-cost-analyzer        1/1     1            1           16m

kubecost-kube-state-metrics   1/1     1            1           16m

kubecost-prometheus-server    1/1     1            1           16m

Kubecost has been exposed using a LoadBalancer service, and we can find the URL to access it like so:

~$kubectl get service -n kubecost kubecost-cost-analyzer \

-o jsonpath="{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[*].hostname}:9090{'\n'}"
