In case you missed it, we recently released an enhancement to Kubernetes reporting that will allow you to easily visualize cost and usage data across your Kubernetes environment. We heard from many of you this is critical to understanding and attributing opportunities for operational efficiency to your dev teams. Building a Kubernetes Pod label report in Ternary is quick and easy. After Ternary has ingested your Kubernetes Pod labels, you can build rich cost and usage reports in the Ternary Reporting Engine. You will first select 'Kubernetes Container' as your source data (Ternary only surfaces pod-level Kubernetes labels) and an appropriate metric. I selected 'requestCPUcost' as the metric in my sample report below. Now, with Kubernetes Pod labels, I can choose a Pod label to group and filter my report results. I chose 'my.k8s.pod-label/application' to group my results by an application ID value associated with my pods.

As you can see, there are many pod application labels in my report results. I may want to focus on a particular set of applications and apply a filter to my 'application' pod label. To begin ingesting your Kubernetes Pod labels, take a look at our setup guide.
