Overview

This module is an API-Wrapper for the rest-dynamic-controller that allows the utilization of the Kubernetes Operator Generator to collect information from a REST API. In this instance, we are collecting pricing data from the Azure API, however, the Azure pricing API returns a nested object, which is difficult to manage automatically. This simple plugin unwraps the nested object, finds the object with the maximum unit price value and then returns it, without any other modification.

Architecture

In the diagram, this component is the DataPresentationProvider (in this specific instance, the provider is Azure).

Examples

Since the Azure pricing API only requires the filter parameter, the generated custom resource only needs to have the filter value compiled:

apiVersion: finops.krateo.io/v1alpha1
kind: DataPresentationAzure
metadata:
  name: sample
spec:
  $filter: serviceFamily eq 'Compute' and armRegionName eq 'westeurope' and skuId eq 'DZH318Z08NRP/001B' and type eq 'Consumption'

Configuration

It is highly recommended to use this module with the focus-data-presentation-azure composition, which allows the automatic creation of the FocusConfig from the finops-operator-focus, which also starts the exporting/scraping process, automatically storing data into the database. See finops-operator-exporter and finops-operator-scraper for more information.
