Q: How do I configure prices for my on-premise Assets?

There are two options to configure asset prices in your on-premise Kubernetes environment:

Simple pipeline: per component prices can be configured in a helm values file (reference) or directly in the Kubecost Settings page. This allows you to directly supply the cost of a CPU month, RAM Gb month, etc.
Advanced pipeline: this method allows each individual asset in your environment to have a unique price. This leverages the Kubecost custom CSV pipeline which is available on Enterprise plans. Contact us at [email protected] to learn more.
