Important Notes

• CloudCosts are now enabled by default. GCP users should note that CloudCosts do not support non-Detailed Billing Exports. More information on Detailed Billing Exports can be found here
• Fixed an issue where valid credentials to AWS cloud integrations or Spot configurations would fail
• 2228 Changes all podSecurityPolicy to be disabled by default to prevent Helm issues that will occur if Kubernetes is upgraded to v1.25 while PSP are enabled

Note: Prior to upgrading Kubernetes clusters to v1.25, you must disable PSP used by Kubecost by either upgrading to this release, or for older releases setting the appropriate helm values documented here. Failure to do so will result in Helm being unable to manage the deployment requiring manual intervention.
