Add OpenShift projects

Add your own projects to the Platform group so that you have control over what is considered a platform cost.

Before you begin

  • You must have a cluster that has a cost model set to Distribute.

In cost management, the group named Platform has default projects that you cannot remove. These projects start with the prefixes openshift or kube and have a Default label in the OpenShift details page. Any projects that have the cost of some Platform projects have the Overhead label.

For example, you might have a cost that you consider overhead and that you want to show up as a platform cost. You can add the cost to your Platform projects to distribute the costs according to your cost model. To add OpenShift projects to the Platform group, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. In Settings in cost management, click the Platform projects tab.
  2. Select a project to add to the Platform group.
  3. Click Add projects.

    The project now has the label Platform, but not the label Default.

Complete the following steps to verify that your costs are distributing properly:

  • In cost management, click OpenShift to open the OpenShift Details page.
  • Select the cluster whose project you edited in the previous steps.

The project should display a cost of $0 because you set the cost to distribute across all other projects. A project with the label Overhead includes the cost of that project plus the default project costs.
