Etcd · FinOps Profile

Etcd Finops

FinOps view of etcd: no vendor invoice. Direct cost is the underlying compute, storage (low-latency SSD), and networking required to run a quorum-typically-3 cluster. When etcd is consumed via managed Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, AKS), its cost is bundled into the control-plane fee on the cloud bill.

Etcd Finops is the FinOps profile for Etcd on the APIs.io network, aligned with the FinOps Foundation Framework.

It defines 4 billable meters, billed in USD, on a n/a cycle, and pricing category open source (no direct cost).

The profile maps 6 FOCUS columns for cost-allocation reporting.

Tagged areas include FinOps, FOCUS, Open Source, Distributed Systems, and Kubernetes.
