About

Krossboard tracks Kubernetes cluster usage over time to support cost allocation and capacity planning. It can analyze multiple clusters configured through one or more KUBECONFIG files, with usage views for namespaces, nodes and clusters across minutes, hours, days and months. Analytics data can be exported as CSV. A deployed instance provides both a user interface and a REST API, while the Kubernetes Operator deploys and manages Krossboard instances as pods. The free plan provides unlimited clusters, core analytics and CSV export. It does not include managed-cluster discovery or support. Enterprise plans add discovery of managed AKS, EKS and GKE clusters; maintained-version bug and security fixes are available for one year on Enterprise and up to three years on Enterprise Advanced. Normal operation requires read-only access to Kubernetes metrics and core APIs. Managed-cluster discovery needs read-only cloud IAM permissions, while deployment requires cloud administration permissions to configure access. Krossboard is made by 2Alchemists SAS, based in Toulouse, France.

Who it is for

Krossboard suits teams that need usage analytics across Kubernetes clusters for allocation or capacity planning. It may also fit teams that want CSV exports or an API alongside the web interface and can configure the required access.

What is good

  • Unlimited clusters on the free plan
  • Analytics cover namespaces, nodes and clusters
  • CSV export and REST API are available
  • Operator manages deployments as Kubernetes pods

What to know first

  • Free plan excludes managed-cluster discovery
  • Free plan includes no support
  • Deployment requires cloud administration permissions

Verdict

Krossboard offers multi-cluster usage views and exports in a free plan, with managed-cluster discovery reserved for Enterprise plans. Consider its access requirements and lack of free support before deployment.
