Reduce Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) costs with these tips
The most trusted way to run Kubernetes
Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cost saving tips
Optimize your Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) costs with these tips
Use Fargate
Rather than EC2, Fargate avoids having to manage servers. This saves cost as you only have to pay for actual container usage.
Right-size containers
Reducing memory and CPU requirements in task definitions and container images can lead to substantial cost savings. Avoid oversized containers.
Use Fargate Spot
Maximise underused capacity by setting a maximum price and allow Fargate to utilise available Spot capacity. This can lead to discounts of 90% on standard pricing.

The cost of running EKS on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) or AWS Fargate, and on-premises using AWS Outposts depends on the AWS resources created. Users only pay for what they use. AWS Fargate pricing depends on vCPU and memory resources used. EKS on AWS Outposts also charges $0.10 per hour per cluster.
