Description

📝 Scenario

I have a customer that is looking to be able to breakdown AKS costs at the namespace level in FinOps Hub reporting. This will require access to the data provided by enabling Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cost analysis via an API or export. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/cost-analysis). As of now, this information is only available in the portal/manual download.

💎 Solution

Work with AKS team to replicate what they did with Cost Management.

ℹ️ Additional context

Customer stated that having the ability to tag AKS namespace objects for cost reporting would be beneficial.

Research direction

Start with the linked AKS cost analysis documentation and determine whether the required namespace data is available through an API or export. Coordinate with the AKS team and define how the data would enter FinOps Hub reporting. Done means AKS costs can be broken down by namespace, with any tagging support clarified.
