kubernetes collector incurs AWS charges

Products

• CloudHealth

Issue/Introduction

Yes, some charges will be incurred as the kubernetes collector uses up CPU/Memory when deployed.  Typically, 0.5-1 for CPU, and 500MB-1GB Memory is seen which factors in a percent of cost of the whole node.

Network charges will also apply.  However, this varies depending on the number of workloads running on the cluster.  Lesser number of pods/deployments/jobs etc, lesser network charges.
