Kubernetes host unit application only mode

arora138 — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 13:04:21 GMT

We're monitoring Kubernetes pods through the Application only monitoring mode and I was curious if the host units were calculated using memory requests or limits of the pod? What exact metric of the pod's memory is used in determining the cost?

It's the maximum memory available for the pod - the memory limit.

Just an update for future answer-seekers: With DPS billing (and a recent enough agent), this has changed! Application-only billing is now based on memory used instead of memory limit.
