The cost management service in Red Hat Insights aggregates and displays Red Hat OpenShift and cloud costs and distributes them based on different criteria, enabling you to do showback and chargeback to your internal or external customers.

Cost management supports cloud costing of infrastructure, services, marketplace services and other costs on AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. OpenShift detailed costing is available for clouds and on-premise by installing the Cost Management Metrics Operator.

Recognizing our customers have a diverse IT real estate and run OpenShift on a variety of architectures, we have added support for Insights cost management on ARM, IBM Z and POWER, in addition to the existing x86-84. This enables FinOps (finance and DevOps) on every major architecture, both on-premise and cloud, either with Insights cost management alone, or by integrating with other FinOps tools.

In our continuing effort to make Insights cost management easier to use, we have implemented the same user experience on all platforms. Whether you are on x86-64, ARM, IBM POWER or Z, the steps to enable cost management are the same: install operator, give access to cloud bill (if running on cloud), create cost model (if customization beyond the implicit one is required) and soon after, usage and cost data will be available. You can find more details in the Red Hat Insights cost management documentation.

On-premise clusters, which is common in POWER and Z, will need a price list to be defined in the cost model to show cost information. Check the Using cost models guide to learn more or reach out to our Red Hat Professional Services to help you implement a successful costing and FinOps strategy.

As usual, if your clusters will not have access to the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console, you can use the Restricted network mode to send data to the Red Hat Insights cost management SaaS.

ARM, IBM POWER and Z customers benefit immediately from the Resource Optimization for OpenShift functionality introduced last year.

* IBM Z customers will see data and rightsizing recommendations in terms of CPU cores. Support for IFLs will arrive in an upcoming release of Red Hat OpenShift, and cost management will be enhanced to report usage, cost and recommendations as soon as it is available.
