CreateOS Sandbox runs Firecracker microVMs, billed per second for vCPU, memory and storage while a sandbox runs. CostGraph reads CreateOS at a grain of one record per day for vCPU, memory and disk across the account. Spend is estimated from CreateOS’s published prices and can differ from your invoice.

​
Choose how the data reaches us

CostGraph pulls it

You supply read-only credentials and we read CreateOS. Nothing to run.

You push it

You send us the records over the API. Your credentials stay in your infrastructure.

​
Before you begin

  • On your CreateOS profile page, create an API key.
  • The connect form links to the page where you create this credential.

​
Let CostGraph pull

  1. Open Settings > Integrations and pick CreateOS.
  2. Name the connection and pick the tenant these charges belong to.
  3. Enter the values you copied. The form lists what CreateOS needs and marks the optional ones.
  4. Select Connect.
CostGraph verifies the credentials with a short fetch before saving, so a wrong value or a missing permission fails while you are still on the form.
Credentials are encrypted at rest and used only to read usage and cost. Revoke them in CreateOS at any time and the connection stops; nothing else is affected.

​
Push it yourself

Send the charges to CostGraph yourself instead. Push data covers the connection id, the focus:write key, and the request shape.

​
Run the exporter

Your CreateOS credential stays with you. Only the finished records reach CostGraph. Run the exporter covers the three ways to run it and the variables it reads.

What CostGraph does with it

CreateOS spend appears in Cost Overview and in anomaly detection alongside every other provider.
