How to use the cost insights feature of a registered cluster

Grant permissions to access the billing data of the ACK cluster.

• ACK managed clusters

  The system automatically creates the AliyunCSManagedCostRole RAM role. Prometheus assumes this role to access your billing data.

  Or authorize from the RAM Quick Authorization page.

• ACK dedicated clusters

  Add billing permissions to the worker role policy:

  3. On the Policy Document tab, click Edit Policy Document.

  4. Add these statements to the Statement array, then click OK.

     {
         "Action": [
             "bssapi:QueryInstanceBill",
             "bssapi:DescribeInstanceBill"
         ],
         "Resource": "*",
         "Effect": "Allow"
     },
     {
         "Action": [
             "ecs:DescribeDisks",
             "ecs:DescribeSpotPriceHistory",
             "ecs:DescribeInstances",
             "ecs:DescribePrice"
         ],
         "Resource": "*",
         "Effect": "Allow"
     },
     {
         "Action": [
             "eci:DescribeContainerGroupPrice"
         ],

     Note

     Separate each statement with a comma when adding multiple entries.

In Account A where the registered cluster resides, install Managed Service for Prometheus. For more information, see Connect a registered cluster to Managed Service for Prometheus.

In Account A where the registered cluster resides, configure the AckRegisteredClusterId parameter for the ack-cost-exporter add-on. Set the parameter to the clusterId of the ACK cluster in Account B.

1. Log on to the ACK console. In the left navigation pane, click Clusters.

2. On the Clusters page, click the name of the target cluster, and then in the left navigation bar, select Applications > Helm.

   If a release of ack-cost-exporter already exists on the Helm page, delete the release and reinstall it by following the subsequent steps.

3. In the left navigation bar of the cluster management page, select Operations > Add-ons.

4. On the Add-ons page, click the Observability tab, find the ack-cost-exporter add-on, and click Install in the lower-right corner.

5. On the Install Component page, set registeredAckClusterId to the clusterId of the cluster in Account B, and then click OK.
