CCM / FinOps Setup
Set up Cloud Cost Management using one or more CCM modules.
Module directories:
ccm-k8s-connectors/ โ manual K8s + CCM connector pair
ccm-auto-k8s-connectors/ โ auto-discovery pipeline for K8s clusters
ccm-autostop-primer/ โ AutoStopping templates and pipeline
ccm-cluster-orchestrator-deployment/ โ Cluster Orchestrator for spot optimization
$ARGUMENTS
Module Options
1. K8s Cost Visibility (ccm-k8s-connectors)
Creates a Kubernetes connector + Cloud Cost connector pair for a single cluster. Best for manually registering individual clusters.
- Inputs: delegate_name, cluster_name, enable_optimization
- Level: Account
2. Auto K8s Discovery (ccm-auto-k8s-connectors)
Creates a pipeline that automatically discovers and registers all K8s clusters via delegates. Runs on a cron schedule. Best for environments with many clusters.
- Inputs: org_id, project_id, kubernetes_connector, docker_connector, API key secret, cron schedule
- Level: Project
- Dependencies: harness-project
3. AutoStopping (ccm-autostop-primer)
Creates templates and a pipeline for applying auto-stop rules to idle K8s services. Automatically shuts down dev/test workloads when not in use.
- Inputs: org_id, project_id, kubernetes_connector, API key secret
- Level: Project
- Dependencies: harness-project
4. Cluster Orchestrator (ccm-cluster-orchestrator-deployment)
Deploys the Cluster Orchestrator service for spot instance optimization on production clusters. Reduces compute costs by leveraging spot/preemptible instances.
- Inputs: org_id (optional), project_id (optional), docker_connector
- Level: Any
Conversation Flow
-
"What CCM capabilities do you need?"
- Cost visibility for K8s clusters โ module 1 or 2
- AutoStopping idle dev/test resources โ module 3
- Spot instance optimization for production โ module 4
-
For each selected module, gather the required inputs conversationally.
-
Deploy modules in order based on dependencies.
-
After deployment, explain what was set up and how to use it:
- For auto-discovery: "A pipeline will run daily at {time} to find new K8s clusters"
- For AutoStopping: "Apply auto-stop rules to namespaces via the deployed pipeline"
- For Cluster Orchestrator: "Deploy the orchestrator Helm chart to your clusters"
Prerequisites
- For modules 2 and 3: organization and project must exist
- For auto-discovery: existing K8s and Docker connectors needed
- For AutoStopping: Harness API key secret reference needed
