📣 Announcement: kube-opex-analytics is becoming KubeLedger!

[rchakode]

TL;DR: We are renaming kube-opex-analytics to KubeLedger. This change reflects our evolution from a simple analytics program to a comprehensive accounting system for Kubernetes. We are also moving to a new GitHub organization: RealOps Labs.

---

❓ Why the change?

When this project started, the goal was simple: provide basic CPU and memory analytics for Kubernetes clusters. Over time, the tool has matured into a robust solution for usage accounting, cost allocation, and capacity planning, and for all kind of resources (currently: CPU, memory, **GPUv).

The name KubeLedger better represents what the tool does today: it acts as a system of record (ledger) for your cluster resources, providing accurate, long-term visibility into "who spent what".

🚀 What's New?

• New Name: KubeLedger
• New Home: github.com/realopslabs/kubeledger
• New Docs: kubeledger.io
• New Container Image: ghcr.io/realopslabs/kubeledger

🛠 Migration Guide (For Existing Users)

Don't worry, the core logic remains the same. Here is how to update your setup:

1. Update your Docker Image We are moving to the GitHub Container Registry (GHCR). Please update your manifests or Helm values:

image:
  repository: ghcr.io/realopslabs/kubeledger
  tag: v1.0.0 # Replace with the latest version

Note: We will continue to push updates to the old Docker Hub repository for a transition period of 6 months, but we strongly recommend switching to GHCR now.

2. Update Environment Variables (Optional) We are introducing new KL_ prefixed environment variables to replace the old KOA_ ones. The old variables will continue to work for backward compatibility, but you will see a deprecation warning in the logs.

KOA_DB_LOCATION → `KL_DB_LOCATIONv

KOA_BILLING_CURRENCY_SYMBOL → KL_BILLING_CURRENCY_SYMBOL

(And so on...)

📅 Timeline

Upcoming days/weeks: Repository transferred to realopslabs/kubeledger.

Upcoming days/weeks: New version released under the new name.

[Date + 6 Months]: Legacy Docker Hub images and KOA_ variables will be formally deprecated.
