Container Cost Allocation | The Keys to AWS Optimization | S11 E2
This video explores Split Cost Allocation Data (SCAD) for AWS container services like EKS and ECS, which helps allocate costs for shared resources down to the pod level. SCAD provides visibility into costs by namespace, deployment, and other Kubernetes objects, aiding in identifying resource wastage and improving cluster efficiency. Setting up SCAD involves enabling it in cost management preferences and Cost and Usage Reports, which adds new columns for split costs and unused costs. The feature also creates custom tags from Kubernetes system labels for better cost allocation. The video demonstrates how to set up SCAD and run queries to analyze container costs in detail. Future plans include support for other shared resources like S3, databases, and GPUs. Customers are encouraged to provide feedback on the EKS public roadmap on GitHub to help shape future developments.
