Extended Support - Cost Projection

Introduction

This dashboard provides insights on resources reaching extended support and projects the cost of extended support based on resource usage over a given period of time.

Services with extended support covered by this dashboard:

EKS Extended Support

With Amazon EKS Extended Support, you can continue running your EKS clusters on a version that has reached the end of its standard support, for an additional 12 months.

During extended support, Amazon EKS clusters will receive ongoing security patches for the Kubernetes control plane. Additionally, Amazon EKS will release patches for specific add-ons.

This dashboard provides a clear view on EKS clusters reaching extended support in the next 3, 6, 12 months, and beyond.

It presents the estimated monthly cost of extended support, and allows you to drill down to cluster level, to review where your usage and estimated cost will be if, and when, your clusters enter the extended support period.

Prerequisites

1. Deploy the Foundational dashboards (CUDOS, CID, KPI) to ensure cost and usage information is available to produce the cost projection for RDS Extended Support based on actual usage for a given period of time.

2. Deploy or update Data Collection Lab and make sure Inventory Data collection module is enabled. Version 3.2.0 or higher required.

Deployment

CloudFormation

Note

Prerequisite: To install this dashboard using CloudFormation, you need to install Foundational Dashboards CFN with version v4.0.0 or above as described here

    pip3 install --upgrade cid-cmd

4. In your command-line interface run the following command to deploy the dashboard:

    cid-cmd deploy --dashboard-id extended-support-cost-projection

   Please follow the instructions from the deployment wizard. More info about command line options are in the Readme or cid-cmd --help.
