Amortization is a critical component of cloud cost allocation so the platform includes two measures to the Y-axis of our Kubernetes Cost History Report that enable you to easily view and allocate your effective costs:
AWS Kubernetes Cost History Report: Amortized Cost = Upfront cost normalized monthly
Azure Kubernetes Cost History Report: Effective Cost = Upfront cost normalized monthly + OnDemand cost
With these measures, Kubernetes costs can be amortized like all other costs in your environment.
