# Kubecost helm chart
Helm chart for the Kubecost project, which is created to monitor and manage Kubernetes resource spend. Please contact team@kubecost.com or visit [kubecost.com](http://kubecost.com) for more info.

While Helm is the [recommended install path](http://kubecost.com/install), these resources can also be deployed with the following command:<a name="manifest"></a>

`kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubecost/cost-analyzer-helm-chart/master/kubecost.yaml --namespace kubecost`

<a name="config-options"></a><br/>
