CloudCostCompareCompare / Pod-billed Kubernetes compute
Pod-billed Kubernetes compute prices: Azure, AWS, Google, Oracle
Kubernetes capacity billed for the CPU and memory a pod asks for, with no nodes to manage: AWS Fargate on EKS, Google GKE Autopilot and Azure Container Instances (AKS virtual nodes). Compared as a different product from node-billed clusters, because pods are billed for what they request and not for whole machines.
Which service on each cloud
| Cloud | Service | How it charges |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Azure | Azure Container Instances (AKS virtual nodes) | Container Instances vCPU (per vCPU-hour); Container Instances memory (per GB-hour) |
| Amazon Web Services | AWS Fargate (EKS pods) | Fargate vCPU (per vCPU-hour); Fargate memory (per GB-hour) |
| Google Cloud | Google GKE Autopilot (general-purpose pods) | Autopilot pod CPU (per vCPU-hour); Autopilot pod memory (per GB-hour); Autopilot cluster management fee (per cluster-hour) |
| Oracle Cloud | Not offeredOracle bills a virtual node per hour, and its price list does not give a separate rate for the CPU and memory a pod uses on a virtual node, so the cost of a given pod load can't be sized. | — |
