Announcement
Amortized Costs and Savings now available for EKS Lens
By Craig Lowell
EKS Lens reports now include amortized cost and savings metrics, spreading RI and Savings Plan charges across pods for more accurate cluster cost forecasting.
Reports generated with EKS Lens data are now able to show amortized costs and savings, providing more accurate and granular cost visibility for your EKS clusters.
These amortized data metrics**, which are available via the dropdown menu on the report settings menu, are calculated for each EKS pod, just like the regular cost and usage metrics. They provide deeper insights than what is available with a simple AWS Cost and Usage Report (AWS CUR), by spreading the upfront and recurring charges like Reserved Instances (RIs) and Savings Plans (SPs).
By viewing your amortized EKS billing data, you can more easily and accurately forecast your EKS clusters, thus enabling more reliable decisions about your budgeting and savings strategies.
