Cost Insights for a Region

Cost Insights for a region provides enterprise management personnel with an overall analysis report of container costs in that region. From the perspective of cloud native, enterprise management personnel can flexibly organize costs. Costs can be allocated to departments by cluster or namespace to generate department cost analysis reports. In addition, cost reports can be exported.

Prerequisites

Cost Insights has been enabled.

Constraints

Processing bills takes some time. After Cost Insights is enabled, there is about two days delay before you can view your costs.
Cloud Native Cluster Monitoring must run normally to ensure accurate data displays of namespaces, workloads, and node pools on the Cost Insights page.

Access Management
