Configuring access to cloud providers (optional)

By default, Untab will use the publicly posted pricing from the cloud provider. This allows you to get started quickly. However, in most cases, the prices you actually pay are different. This can be due to a number of factors, for example:

• Reserved instances

• Spot/pre-emptible instances

• Sustained use discounts

• Tiered pricing / free tier

• Negotiated discounts

Untab can take your real pricing into account by querying the API of your cloud provider.

Furthermore, in order to accurately identify the cloud provider SKU corresponding to each node and volume, Untab needs additional information about these resources which is not available through the Kubernetes API. This includes:

• The type and configuration of node-attached volumes (for example, root or OS volumes)

• Whether a node is a spot or dedicated instance

Without access to this information, Untab will assume that all instances are regular on-demand instances and will not report costs for node-attached volumes.

To provide Untab with the access necessary to query the billing and resource information, please select one of the following options:
