Issue/Introduction

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

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

Also, we post data every 15 minutes for a total of 96 times a day.
