AI BriefingCloud cost visibility isn't as hard as you think
Key point
Kakaopay Securities built a cost visibility system by combining AWS CUR and KubeCost to manage EKS and RI/SP costs in detail.
Details
AWS CostExplorer has limitations in handling the complex billing structure of RI/SP commitments and checking per-service costs in EKS. As organizations grow larger, the challenge of achieving detailed cost tracking with existing tools alone needs to be solved.
Kakaopay Securities solved this through an architecture linking AWS CUR(Cost & Usage Report), KubeCost, Amazon Athena, and Amazon QuickSight.
First, AWS CUR is configured on an hourly basis and in Parquet format, and the data is loaded into S3. At the same time, KubeCost is set up on the EKS cluster to collect Pod-level compute resource usage and cost data, which is then processed into a form that is easy to integrate with AWS CUR and stored in S3.
Finally, Amazon Athena is used to tabulate the data in S3, and Amazon QuickSight is used to visualize the cost data, achieving sophisticated cost management.
