Kubecost helm chart

Helm chart for the Kubecost project, which is created to monitor and manage Kubernetes spend. Please contact [email protected] or visit kubecost.com for more info.

To install via helm 3, run the following commands:

helm repo add kubecost https://kubecost.github.io/cost-analyzer/
helm upgrade -i --create-namespace kubecost kubecost/cost-analyzer --namespace kubecost --set kubecostToken="aGVsbUBrdWJlY29zdC5jb20=xm343yadf98"

While Helm is the recommended install path for Kubecost, these resources can alternatively be deployed staticly with the following command:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubecost/cost-analyzer-helm-chart/master/kubecost.yaml --namespace kubecost
