Cloud billing integration

Unlock a precise optimization and comprehensive analysis of K8s expenses across your entire environment by integrating your cloud billing

By default, PerfectScale pulls the "Shelf" prices from the public cloud providers' pricing API. However, for a higher level of granularity, more accurate tracking of resource consumption, and the actual cost of your K8s, PerfectScale allows pulling usage and billing information directly from your cloud provider through the integration.

Leverage the most detailed source of information about the costs and usage of cloud computing services (like AWS CUR or Azure Cost Management), including billing, discounts, reserved resources, and free credits.

This feature is only available for Advance and Expert Plan users. To upgrade your subscription level, contact [e-mail] or use the PerfectScale Slack Community.

With the the cloud billing integration, PerfectScale will provide you with a clear picture of resource allocation based on your unique billing conditions and give you accurate pricing of your Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, and more. This will give you a comprehensive view of the K8s cost optimization process and help prioritize the actions to ensure they make the most significant impact.

After enabling cloud billing, the Pricing source on the Overview screen updates to Cloud Provider along with the connection status indication (green for connected or red if the connection failed).

If PerfectScale experiences an issue with the cloud billing connectivity, it will inform you with a banner that the connection was lost. PerfectScale will then use Shelf Price until the issue is resolved.
