[FR] Savings statistics available with CLI

[pierluigilenoci]

I can't find a way to extract the information related to the Saving panels.

Are they available? If they are not, this issue of mine is to be understood as a feature request. 😛

Thanks for bringing this up.

kubectl cost doesn't yet support savings. We've now had a couple of requests to add that functionality. I wouldn't expect this feature in the very near future, but it will come if adoption of kubectl cost continues to grow and we can iron out any more pressing problems first.

+1 to Michaels comments and the request!

@pierluigilenoci do you have any specific high priority workflows in mind that you want to enable?

[pierluigilenoci]

My initial idea was to import this data into our automation to make it accessible to development teams and use it to automate deployments with suggested requests/limits. However, this is no longer necessary (see #83).

I leave this issue open because however this information in the kubectl CLI is still interesting to have but I have no rush.

Nothing high-priority, but would be great to have this info at developers fingertips as they try to correctly size different installation profiles for our platform.

@dwbrown2 any news?

Michael's comment still reflects my views! #84 (comment)

While savings support is still outstanding, anyone following this issue may want to check out kubectl cost predict as a related tool!

I'm still interested in seeing this happen, but not currently at the top of the priority list!
