FOCUS Cost Export and Helm Chart 1.0

Export Kubernetes cost as a FOCUS 1.4 file from Cost Explorer or the public API. Plus Helm chart 1.0, which renames the eBPF agent subchart.

This entry collects releases since our last changelog post. Each section is dated by the day it shipped.

FOCUS cost export (18 September 2026)

Cost Explorer's Export menu has two new options: Export as FOCUS (CSV) and Export as FOCUS (Parquet). The file follows FOCUS 1.4, the FinOps Foundation's open format for cost and usage data, so you can load Kubernetes cost into the same warehouse or FinOps tool as your cloud bills. A dialog explains what the file covers before the download starts.

The same file is available from the public API:

  • GET /v1/exports/focus streams the export as CSV, JSON Lines or Parquet, one row per workload or per namespace, optionally filtered to specific clusters.
  • It needs an API key with the cost_explorer:read scope and allows 6 requests per minute per key.
  • A download is complete only when the response ends with the X-Export-Status: complete trailer.

The Exports reference lists every parameter.

Helm chart 1.0.7 (17 September 2026)

The current chart release. The agent's ClusterRole gains get on nodes/proxy and nodes/stats, so the agent can read kubelet stats and report per-pod network bytes. Upgrade with:

bash
helm repo update
helm upgrade kubeadapt kubeadapt/kubeadapt \
  --namespace kubeadapt \
  --reset-then-reuse-values

Helm chart 1.0 (5 May 2026)

Chart 1.0.0 is a breaking release. Images moved to a new registry, binaries were renamed, and the optional eBPF agent subchart was renamed from ebpf-agent to kubeadapt-k8s-pulse. If you set values under ebpf-agent:, move them to kubeadapt-k8s-pulse: before you upgrade. The eBPF agent is still off by default; see the eBPF agent reference to enable it.
