V1.104.1-rc.0

Minor Updates

• Security Updates
• Update query service replica configuration for large scale deployments.
• Add new fields for namespace labels and annotations in Opencost.

Bugs

• Fix an issue causing Prometheus diagnostics errors.
• Fix an issue with Savings archive storage keys.
• Fix an issue where the Cost Allocation and Cloud Cost charts would show "Other: $NaN" if there were too few items in the chart bar.
• Fix an issue where Cost Center Reports were not applying Cloud Cost filters correctly, and filtering by label was not an option.
• Fix an issue with allocation drilldown when cluster is part of multiple aggregations set.

V1.104.0

Important Notes

• CloudCosts are now enabled by default. GCP users should note that CloudCosts do not support non-Detailed Billing Exports. More information on Detailed Billing Exports can be found here
• Fixed an issue where valid credentials to AWS cloud integrations or Spot configurations would fail
• 2228 Changes all podSecurityPolicy to be disabled by default to prevent Helm issues that will occur if Kubernetes is upgraded to v1.25 while PSP are enabled

Note: Prior to upgrading Kubernetes clusters to v1.25, you must disable PSP used by Kubecost by either upgrading to this release, or for older releases setting the appropriate helm values documented here. Failure to do so will result in Helm being unable to manage the deployment requiring manual intervention.

• Overview Load Times: Improved performance of the Overview Page
• Top Traffic Destinations by IP: Visualize the destinations which are being sent the most traffic
• Archivable Savings Opportunities: Hide savings optimizations that aren’t relevant to your organization
