Cost Profiles
Overview¶
Cost Profiles ensure that cost metrics are accurate by taking the organization's custom pricing and cluster type into consideration. Cost Profile is attached to clusters via Blueprints.
Custom Cost Profiles¶
The Profiles page shows the list of Custom (AWS, Azure, and Other) and Default profiles. Default system profiles are available for AWS and Azure. Organizations can customize certain profile parameters to ensure accuracy of cost metrics (e.g. for specific clusters or specific types of environment).
