• In the Container service, costs are allocated based on the value of a specific Key.

• For accurate Container cost allocation, each resource must be tagged with an appropriate value using the Tag Key cz_container_bill.

• Available items are as follows:

1. Cluster Cost

• Costs aggregated from K8S cluster usage

  • Multiple services share the cluster, requiring cost allocation

• Aggregation and allocation logic

  • Aggregation Logic

    • Tag resources as cz_cluster_xxx to be recognized as K8S usage

  • Allocation Logic

    • Map K8S namespace to services

    • Aggregate memory usage per namespace

    • Distribute costs to services based on namespace memory usage

    • Allocate costs among companies using each service (service-based cost allocation)

• Value format: cz_cluster_{user_defined}

Example: cz_cluster_dev, cz_cluster_prod

2. Service Common Cost

• Costs incurred from using software like DB installed on a VM

  • Multiple services share software on the VM, requiring cost allocation

• Aggregation and allocation logic

  • Aggregation Logic

    • Tag shared resources as cz_common_xxx

  • Allocation Logic

    • Distribute costs equally among services tagged with cz_common_xxx

    • Allocate costs among companies using each service (service-based cost allocation)

• Value format: cz_common_{user_defined}

Example: cz_common_subcom

3. Service Exclusive Cost

• Costs incurred from using a service exclusively

• Aggregation and allocation logic

  • Aggregation Logic

    • Tag resources used by the service with a unique service identifier

  • Allocation Logic

    • Allocate costs among companies using each service (service-based cost allocation)

• Value format: {user_defined serviceCode}

Example: mobile, mcmp, dev_test

4. Common Cost

• Costs shared among all companies

  • Allocated based on company-specific cost-sharing ratios

• Aggregation and allocation logic

  • Aggregation Logic

    • Common costs are derived by subtracting (1) Cluster Cost, (2) Service Common Cost, and (3) Service Exclusive Cost from total costs

  • Allocation Logic

    • Allocated among companies based on cost-sharing ratios

• Value format: N/A (No specific value required)
