Krossboard tracks Kubernetes cluster usage over time to support cost allocation and capacity planning. It can analyze multiple clusters configured through one or more KUBECONFIG files, with views for namespaces, nodes, and clusters across minutes, hours, days, and months. Users can export analytics data as CSV. Each deployed instance provides a user interface and REST API, while the Kubernetes Operator deploys and manages instances as pods. The free plan includes unlimited clusters, core analytics, and CSV export. It does not include managed-cluster discovery or support. Enterprise plans add discovery of managed AKS, EKS, and GKE clusters; maintained-version bug and security fixes are available for one year on Enterprise and up to three years on Enterprise Advanced. Normal operation requires read-only access to Kubernetes metrics and core APIs. Managed-cluster discovery requires read-only cloud IAM permissions, and deployment requires cloud administration permissions to configure access. Krossboard is made by 2Alchemists SAS, headquartered in Toulouse, France, and is available as web, API, and self-hosted software.
Who it is for
Krossboard suits teams that need usage views across multiple Kubernetes clusters for allocation or capacity planning. Teams seeking managed-cluster discovery or support will need to consider an Enterprise plan.
