We’re happy to announce that tracking and analyzing your Kubernetes costs within the DoiT Console just got much easier with the beta release of EKS Lens.

This new dashboard in the DoiT Console is populated by report widgets highlighting various aspects of your Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service spend, such as EKS node costs by cluster, unallocated resources, cluster utilization metrics, and more.

EKS Lens will automatically populate after you connect your Kubernetes clusters. Activating the product can be done entirely from the DoiT Console, and consists of a two-stage process outlined below:

1. Creating a CloudFormation stack in AWS
2. Deploying an agent in your K8s clusters using a YAML file

We have developed a self-service activation flow that will allow you to complete the process on your own. You can view each step of the process in this interactive guide, and then start connecting your clusters from the DoiT Console whenever you’re ready.

Here are a few additional resources you might find useful before getting started.

• Interactive product tour to learn what data is provided in EKS Lens
• Permissions needed to create a CloudFormation stack
• Understanding EKS Costs
• EKS Lens Help Documentation

If you have any questions about the activation process or encounter any issues, raise a support ticket, and one of our support specialists will be happy to help.
