SCAD Containers Cost Allocation Dashboard

The SCAD Containers Cost Allocation Dashboard provides insights into EKS and ECS in-cluster cost based on data from CUR’s Split Cost Allocation Data (SCAD) feature. DevOps teams, FinOps team or any relevant stakeholder can gain insights into cost of Kubernetes workloads inside their EKS and ECS clusters, down to the EKS pod/ECS task level, and aggregated based on different Kubernetes constructs (pod, namespace, controller, and more) or ECS and Batch dimensions. You can use it to implement showback and chargeback methodologies for multi-tenant EKS and ECS clusters. The dashboard’s visualizations include high-level KPI visuals to understand general spend, and interactive visuals that allow easy-to-use experience to drill down into EKS and ECS in-cluster cost.

The dashboard has three tabs:

  • Executive Summary:

    • KPI visuals per cost metric (CPU cost, GPU cost, RAM cost, shared cost, total cost)

    • Total Cost by Account ID

    • Top Spending Clusters

  • Workloads Explorer:

    • Interactive stacked-bar chart and pivot table visuals that show cost by different dimensions based on in-dashboard aggregations and filters

  • Cluster Breakdown:

    • Coverage and drill-down visuals

  • Labels/Tags Explorer:

    • Drill down into your pods/tasks split cost by dimensions that are customized using K8s pod labels/AWS ECS tasks tags, and combine them with tagged AWS resources costs to implement Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

  • Data on EKS:

    • Allocate costs to Spark and Flink applications running on EKS (directly or using EMR on EKS), with ability to combine EMR on EKS service cost and split cost
