To provide a more accurate cost metric and improve pricing transparency, the PerfectScale solution is licensed by the amount of vCPU/h your clusters consume monthly.
There are a few ways to determine your vCPU consumption:
Navigate to your Subscription Details and check the Current Month vCPU Consumption that PerfectScale has already calculated for you.
To get more details and review vCPU consumption over-time run a trends report following two easy steps:
Go to the Trends tab
Select 'Allocated vCPU' in the Scope drop-down list.
With your observability tool, like Grafana and DataDog you can either use some existing dashboard or create a new graph summarizing cluster capacity. For example, Prometheus can be used to create a visualization of cluster capacity, as shown below:
In the above example, the allocated vCPU is around 90 cores. We can estimate monthly core hours as 90*24*30 = 64800
Use the terminal following the guide below:
Open a new terminal on the machine that has kubectl been installed. Make sure you are running in the correct context (=cluster)
Type the following command on the prompt:
This will show you the currently running instances and their core capacity at a single point in time:
Now you can summarize the cores to have cluster cores right now. You can multiply this number by 24*30 to have a monthly estimate.
If your cluster has a dynamic nature, this approach may be less accurate than Observability tools or PerfectScale.
