Automated tracking of OpenShift Licensing Costs

Customers leverage Kubecost to help understand the total cost of ownership of their kubernetes clusters. For customers who use Red Hat OpenShift, a key component of these costs is the licensing fees. While customers today can leverage the CSV manual pricing adjustment capability to account for these costs, this approach does not scale for large organizations with variable licensing costs. These customers need an automated way to account for OpenShift licensing fees to maintain an accurate view of total Kubernetes spend.

    Can you provide more specifics as to where these licensing costs are represented? Are they shown in the hybrid console in the cost management tool? Elsewhere?
