GKE Cost Optimization
This reference covers strategies and workflows for reducing Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) costs while maintaining a secure and reliable posture.
Workflows & Optimization Strategies
1. Prerequisite: Cost Allocation & Monitoring
To enable GKE cost allocation (--enable-cost-allocation) for billing tracking
across namespaces and labels, inspect live cluster utilization (kubectl top),
or run historical cost breakdown queries in BigQuery (bq), use the
gke-cost-analysis skill. Once tracking is active and waste is diagnosed,
apply the optimization workflows below.
