A tangentially related anecdote - I heard from a guy from MS that if you turn on Azure's AKS monitoring without any filtering of events applied the cost of the monitoring will be significantly more than running AKS itself.
- malkia 4y agoThat might be okay, say you enable all for 10 - 20 seconds, such that all traces are sampled, logs logged, etc, and then it ramps down.
- pranay01 4y agoThis is the default monitoring which comes with AKS setup right?
- josephcooney 4y agoI'm not sure....I don't think it was turned on by default for AKS. I can do some digging if you want.
- sandermvanvliet 4y agoYeah got burned by that once. Fortunately I had billing alerts in place so we found it quick…
- yodon 4y agoI had Azure AKS monitoring turned on for a minuscule, essentially unused hobby project. After about four months the monitoring costs suddenly exploded from about $4/mo to about $4k/mo. No idea what happened and MSFT support couldn't tell me what was happening because at more than $100/day burn rate on a hobby project I started deleting everything connected with the effort as fast as possible. All I know is my AKS wasn't exploding. Services were still responsive and acting normally in their minuscule cluster, this was just a logging cost explosion. Also billing alerts are your friend.
