Kubernetes host unit application only mode

[arora138]

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?

[Julius_Loman · Accepted solution]

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.
