Containerization has improved application development, agility, deployments, portability, operational efficiency, scalability, modernization, and life cycle management for enterprises. However, allocating costs to containers in environments with multiple containers, projects, and teams is a significant challenge. Cloud service providers charge for server instances that comprise clusters, and traditional billing for managed Kubernetes is per cluster per hour plus additional underlying resources consumed. Amazon EKS charges per hour for each cluster created, allowing multiple applications to run on a single cluster. Identifying how container costs are generated is part of understanding the allocation of costs to containers and Kubernetes for better cloud resource management.
