Opencost Specification

An OpenCostSpecification property references documentation describing how an API or platform's cost reporting conforms to the OpenCost Specification — a CNCF Incubating project that defines a vendor-neutral standard for measuring and allocating Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure costs. OpenCost covers cluster asset costs (nodes, storage, load balancers, network egress), workload cost allocation by namespace, deployment, pod, and label, and idle resource cost distribution. Linking an OpenCost conformance document makes Kubernetes cost data interoperable with FinOps tooling.
