DPS Licensing - kubernetes

[jirkacha]

Hi everyone,

who's able to share DPS licensing for Kubernetes environment?

We are facing a decision regarding the standard model or PCB. We would like to know some experience, lessons learned, etc.

Many thanks Jiri

@jirkacha -  k8s platform monitoring licensing is calculated by pod-hour, here are some details on how its calculated 

https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/dps-containers#pod-hours

If you enable app monitoring, you’ll be charged for both k8s platform monitoring and app monitoring . For app it will be a Full-Stack Monitoring cost
