Re:OpenCost Adds Open Source Multi-Cloud Cost Monitoring on Wednesday November 01, 2023 @07:08PM (#38106668)
Agree! That's the vision!

No problem! Please let me know how we can help.
Re:The Guide to Kubernetes Labels on Wednesday September 01, 2021 @05:59PM (#28386055)
Kubecost fully supports labels by default-- however until recent versions we relied on kube-state-metrics for that data, which requires users to whitelist the labels they want to see. If you upgrade to our latest version, I'd be surprised if this still wasn't working for you. Once you've upgraded, you can reach out to [email protected] if labels still aren't appearing or me personally [email protected] and I'd be happy to help troubleshoot.
Re:The Guide to Kubernetes Labels on Wednesday September 01, 2021 @03:43PM (#28384669)
Each use case is different, but I think expiring the data after 60d in your monitoring stack makes sense both from a scaling perspective of your monitoring stack and from a privacy perspective.

I wouldn't necessarily put _user_ data in labels, but team/product names and contact info of the coworkers responsible for the service seem fine to me.

Stackwatch | Backend Engineer | Full-time | Remote

Stackwatch is the company behind Kubecost https://github.com/kubecost/cost-model . We're building tools to help devops and finops work together to track, manage, and optimize containers in Kubernetes. We're a small team of 4 engineers and 1 salesperson today, all remote, and looking to grow. We're backed by some great investors and actively selling an open-code product to enterprise today.

Re:How to track costs in multi-tenant Amazon EKS clusters on Tuesday July 28, 2020 @10:50PM (#23983090)
There's definitely ways to do this by configuring your scrape configs to ignore sets of nodes. Curious though when you last tried kubecost out? We've built out some caching mechanisms in the product over the last month or so that should dramatically reduce load / memory consumption on prometheus. If you reach out on our slack kubecost.slack.com we can discuss more about expected Prometheus resource consumption.
Re:CloudWatch Is of the Devil, but I Must Use It on Wednesday October 31, 2018 @07:31PM (#18350105)
Hey, former Google Cloud SRE here-- now work on projects to help companies manage cloud spend. Prediction and especially recommendations for lowering cloud spend can get tricky, but I wrote a piece of software and some grafana dasboards that with one click can deploy and calculate cluster costs if you're using kubernetes. Obviously this doesn't include, say, s3 storage costs per bucket, and doesn't much help if you're not using kubernetes, but this is just a first step.

More general solutions can be instrumented with cloudhealth https://www.cloudhealthtech.com/, but that's a bit more of an enterprise-y solution.

Re:Effectively Managing Kubernetes with Cost Monitoring on Monday October 29, 2018 @04:34PM (#18331128)
Helm chart author here-- let me know if you have any feedback! I wanted to build a one or two click way to quickly get cost metrics on GKE.
If you want to look the average comp at FAANG or any well-paying public company it's "only" 250k. That versus the average case at a startup being closer to 150k (average options are worth 0).
While I've never actually run out of localstorage space, I can see it being an issue for some webgl applications. Cool stuff!
Peerkit's caching layer hacks around the HTML5 localStorage limit by opening iFrames to multiple top-level domains. Agreed that it's a messy solution that introduces some overhead (loading iFrames), but it seems to work.
The project is flexible enough to provide support for all media types-- video is definitely where the majority of your savings will be coming from. For a first-time demo though, we decided to just transfer a small image.
Thanks! One possible explanation is that the coordination server, which tells you who has what files, is being slow. We're working on it.
File chunks in the upstream response are hashed, and we're working on delivering "good" peers to connect to.

I agree that there's a lot of work to be done to product-ize it-- we just couldn't wait to show off the demo!

Co-Author here: A cdn using peer to peer has been on a lot of people's minds for a while. There are certainly going to be lots of competing implementations, but you can already start perusing PeerKit's code on github

I can't wait to see a real, scalable game on the full javascript stack: webgl/html5 graphics , node.js / binary.js backend, and a mongodb database.
Sorry, we're experiencing the issue described here: http://www.hackerne.ws/item?id=4180339

But basically, we schedule online courses and add email/text you when you should be watching your online course.

Fair point. To try and allay these kinds of concerns, we've also provided a completely free option with 100% of the scheduling/reminder functionality of the paid option. Wagering is completely voluntary. Though we think betting a bit of money will increase your motivation, our primary concern is helping people through their classes.
I've already built a cool hack with bridge! The multi-language support allowed me to use node.js for my IO and python for my logic. They interfaced pretty seamlessly. This is a good tool for hackers.

Re:Show HN: DJS - Media Distribution with no server-side code on Saturday October 15, 2011 @03:27AM (#3114348)
Fair enough, you can think of it as not having to write any of your own server-side code.
Re:Show HN: DJS - Media Distribution with no server-side code on Saturday October 15, 2011 @02:20AM (#3114220)
The framework is for real-time media distribution, and is built on top of Now.js . All you need to do is include our npm module, djs, serve your webpage, and write your client-side code. We've found that it greatly simplifies writing pub-sub media distribution channels, and turntable-like rooms.

"(Recall that some NP-hard problems are not in NP; halting problem is one.)"

Actually, this quite clears it up for me, I was confusing being in NP with being NP hard.
