We are happy to announce that the AWS Unified CUE solution is GA. Bringing together cloud and Kubernetes (K8s) cost and usage insights under a single, unified interface. This below outlines the latest enhancements, migration notes, and usage instructions.

1. Umbrella K8s Storage Cost Allocation Enhancement

Enhanced Storage Cost Calculation:
- Storage costs are now allocated more accurately across K8s workloads.
- The calculation logic has been improved to handle multi-dimensional storage usage (namespace, pod, PVC).
Prometheus Version Update:
- The latest Prometheus version has been incorporated to ensure accurate metric collection and reporting.
Expected Impact:
- Users will see more precise cost distribution across K8s clusters, namespaces, and workloads.
Detailed description.

2. Unified CUS/Assets/Business Mapping Revisions

The Unified solution now provides a consolidated view for both cloud and K8s. Key enhancements include the following unified pages:

Cost & Usage Explorer
1. Log in to Umbrella using the provided URL.
2. Navigate to your AWS account and open CUE.
3. Access groupings, filters, and drill-downs for both cloud and K8s data.
Assets: Unified asset view combining cloud and K8s resources.
Business Mapping: Unified business mapping leveraging filters and data for cloud and K8s.

3. Migration Notes

Migrated data is available starting in November onward.
K8s dashboards require panel updates and verification of the ‘K8s only’ toggle in CUE.
K8s Business Mapping must be recreated to leverage the new unified K8s-Cloud structure.

📘

Hourly granularity for K8s usage will be available in the enterprise version.

After selecting usage metrics, only a subset of cost filters is available; a note in the UI provides clarification.
