Kubecost Turbonomic Integration

This integration is currently in beta. Please read the documentation carefully.

The Turbonomic Integration feature enables users to obtain supplemental cost information on actions recommended by Turbonomic. This integration is required to display the Turbonomic Actions Savings Cards.

Usage

Prerequisites:

• A running Turbonomic client

Kubecost will require network access to your Turbonomic installation via an OAuth 2.0 Client. We require the following settings on the OAuth client:

• Role: ADVISOR

• ClientAuthenticationMethods: client_secret_post

Please see the IBM Turbonomic documentation on more instructions on how to create an OAuth 2.0 client.

Step 1: Configure Helm values

The below YAML is an example of how to configure the Turbonomic integration in your Helm values file.

global:
  integrations:
    turbonomic:
      enabled: true
      clientId: ""          # REQUIRED. OAuth 2.0 client ID
      clientSecret: ""      # REQUIRED. OAuth 2.0 client secret
      role: "ADVISOR"       # REQUIRED. OAuth 2.0 client role
      host: ""              # REQUIRED. URL to the Turbonomic API (e.g. "https://turbonomic.example.com")
      insecureClient: false # Whether to verify certificate or not. Default false.

Step 2: Apply and validate your changes

If deploying changes via Helm, you will be able to run a command similar to:

helm upgrade -i kubecost cost-analyzer \
  --repo https://kubecost.github.io/cost-analyzer/ \
  --namespace kubecost \
  -f values.yaml

Once you've applied your changes, validate that the integration is successful by checking the Aggregator pod logs. You should see logs similar to the following:

kubectl logs statefulset/kubecost-aggregator -n kubecost | grep -i "Turbonomic"

DBG Turbonomic: Ingestor: completed run with 32 turbonomic actions ingested
