|**Cluster architecture:** Enforce [resource quotas](operator-best-practices-scheduler.md) at the namespace level.|Resource quotas provide a way to reserve and limit resources across a development team or project. These quotas are defined on a namespace and can be used to set quotas on compute resources, storage resources, and object counts. When you define resource quotas, all pods created in the namespace must provide limits or requests in their pod specifications.|

|**Cluster architecture:** Sign up for [Azure Reservations](../cost-management-billing/reservations/save-compute-costs-reservations.md). | If you properly planned for capacity, your workload is predictable and exists for an extended period of time, sign up for [Azure Reserved Instances](../virtual-machines/prepay-reserved-vm-instances.md) to further reduce your resource costs.|
3636
|**Cluster architecture:** Use Kubernetes [Resource Quotas](operator-best-practices-scheduler.md#enforce-resource-quotas). | Resource quotas can be used to limit resource consumption for each namespace in your cluster, and by extension resource utilization for the Azure service.|

|**Cluster and workload architectures:** Cost management using monitoring and observability tools. | OpenCost on AKS introduces a new community-driven [specification](https://github.com/opencost/opencost/blob/develop/spec/opencost-specv01.md) and implementation to bring greater visibility into current and historic Kubernetes spend and resource allocation. OpenCost, born out of [Kubecost](https://www.kubecost.com/), is an open-source, vendor-neutral [CNCF sandbox project](https://www.cncf.io/sandbox-projects/) that recently became a [FinOps Certified Solution](https://www.finops.org/certifications/finops-certified-solution/). Customer specific prices are now included using the Consumption Pricesheet API, ensuring accurate cost reporting that accounts for consumption and savings plan discounts (reserved instances will be added in the future). For out-of-cluster analysis or to ingest allocation data into an existing BI pipeline, an export feature is available. Export a CSV with daily infrastructure cost breakdown by Kubernetes constructs (namespace, controller, service, pod, job and more) to your Azure Storage Account or local storage with minimal configuration. CSV also includes resource utilization metrics for CPU, GPU, memory, load balancers, and persistent volumes. For in-cluster visualization, OpenCost UI enables real-time cost drill down by Kubernetes constructs. Alternatively, directly query the OpenCost API to access cost allocation data. For more information on Azure specific integration, see [OpenCost docs](https://www.opencost.io/docs).|

[AKS auto upgrade](auto-upgrade-cluster.md) and [AKS Node Auto-Repair](node-auto-repair.md) helps improve day-2 operations.
