Get granular Kubernetes visibility down to the pod

With Ternary by your side, you get to track every workload, resource, and cost right down to individual pods. Make smarter decisions and hold teams accountable for what they run.

Unified cost monitoring across clouds
  • Ternary provides cost and usage insights across Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).  
  • Properly allocate Kubernetes costs according to your business’s hierarchy or taxonomy to perform showback and chargeback. 
  • There’s no need for manual updates or third-party installations, all thanks to the Ternary’s agentless monitoring.

Surface inefficiencies across clusters, namespaces, and pods
  • Compare CPU and memory capacity vs. actual usage to flag overprovisioning and inefficiencies.
  • Drill into any namespace to see which applications are running within a container and how much they’re costing you.
  • Get tailored, actionable recommendations to autoscale or resize workloads for optimal efficiency.

Track and triage Kubernetes cost spikes with ease
  • Ternary’s Kubernetes cost anomaly detection flags unexpected spikes in usage, waste, or billing at the pod, container, or namespace level.
  • Customizable thresholds and alerting help you detect anomalies before they become a problem and allow you to take necessary action before they mess with your budget.
  • Create and manage Jira cases from Ternary as anomalies are detected or optimization opportunities are identified.

FAQ

 How does Ternary help with Kubernetes cost management?

Ternary offers agentless Kubernetes monitoring, allowing you to track and optimize costs for Kubernetes workloads without installing additional software. This reduces operational complexity while providing precise container-level cost visibility.

Does Ternary support Kubernetes in multi-cloud environments?

Yes. Ternary’s multi-cloud FinOps platform unifies Kubernetes cost data across Google Cloud, AWS, Azure, and other providers—so you can analyze container costs alongside your overall cloud spend and optimize holistically.

How does agentless monitoring benefit my team?

Without the need for sidecar containers or node-level agents, you avoid deployment overhead and potential performance impacts. Ternary securely ingests usage and cost data directly, making setup faster and ongoing management easier.
