Query cluster management fees and associated cloud service bills - Container Service for Kubernetes

The Expenses and Costs page lets you view billing statements and details for your Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) cluster. ACK costs appear in two separate categories:

Cost category	Billing label	Description
Cluster management fee	ACK Pro Pricing	Charged for ACK managed Pro clusters
Associated cloud service fees	For example, Elastic Compute Service	Charged separately by each cloud service (for example, ECS for worker nodes)

View bills

Log on to the Expenses and Costs page.
In the left-side navigation pane, select Bills > Bill Details.

Set the Statistic Item, Statistic Period, and query conditions, then view the results.

Filter	Description
Statistic Item	Aggregates bills by the selected dimension. For example, selecting Instance groups bills by instance.
Statistic Period	Controls the time granularity of displayed bills. For example, selecting Billing Period shows hourly bills within a billing cycle.
Query conditions	Filter by month, product name, instance name, or instance ID.

Note

In the upper-right corner of the results list, click Customize Column Options to adjust displayed columns, or click Export Billing Overview (CSV) to download the data.

Example 1: View cluster management fees

ACK managed Pro clusters incur a cluster management fee, displayed in billing as ACK Pro Pricing.

Set Product to ProductProductProductProductContainer Service For Kubernetes.
(Optional) Search by cluster name or cluster ID to filter bills for a specific cluster.

Example 2: View bills for associated cloud services

To view billing details for a cloud service associated with a cluster, set Product to the relevant service name and search by instance ID or name.

ECS example:

Set Product to Elastic Compute Service.
(Optional) Set Instance ID and enter an ECS instance ID.

The Instance ID filter accepts only one ID at a time. To get all ECS instance IDs associated with your cluster, go to the Nodes page in the ACK console. To view bills for all ECS instances in a cluster at once, leave Instance ID blank, filter by Product only, and export the results as a CSV file. Then filter the exported data by instance ID offline. By default, ECS instances created by ACK are named worker-k8s-for-cs-<Cluster ID>. You can also filter by instance name using this pattern, but this may miss nodes with different names.
