Enable Split Cost Allocation for EKS

To view pod-level EKS costs in OneLens, you need to enable split cost allocation from two places in your AWS account:

  1. CUR Preferences – to include split cost allocation data in the Cost and Usage Report (CUR).

  1. Cost Management Preferences – to opt in to EKS cost allocation.

Warning: Require Payer and Regular Account Access

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. In the left menu, select Cost Management Preferences.

  2. Under Split cost allocation data:

    1. Select Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service

    2. Choose Resource Requests

  1. Click Save Preferences at the bottom right.

Once saved, your CUR will start including pod-level cost breakdowns. OneLens will use this data to provide deeper visibility into your EKS costs.

Additional Cost for Split Allocation in EKS

You may incur an estimated $2.73/month per 10,000 pods due to increased CUR data size and processing overhead.
