Namespace configurations costs estimation

Kubecost: https://folio-kubecost.ci.folio.org/

This documentation provides an estimation of costs associated with different namespace configurations in the Rancher system. Understanding the costs involved in namespace configurations is essential for effective resource management and budget planning. This estimation takes into account various factors such as replica count, memory allocation, and resource sharing.

Within this research, calculations were performed to determine the daily costs for various configurations of Rancher environments. The table below presents a list of configurations for the modules:

• Testing: Replicat count 1-2, Memory 100%
• Development: Replica count 1, Memory 100%
• Performance: Replica count 1-4, Memory 100%

Additionally, these calculations take into account different configurations with embedded and shared resources such as OpenSearch, Kafka, and PostgreSQL.

In the table, the most commonly used configurations for each type are highlighted in bold.

The development configuration is suitable for small-scale deployments. It includes a single replica with a memory allocation of 100%. Shared resources, such as OpenSearch, and embedded PostgreSQL and Kafka, are utilized. The cost estimate for this configuration is ~14,46$ per day.
