In EKS Fargate, how can you tag the costs related to Fargate?

Question

We have an 'application' tag on our EKS cluster and fargate profile. We also have a k8s label 'application' on the pod. When we look in the cost explorer, the costs related to fargate (for example EU-Fargate-vCPU-Hours:perCPU (Hrs)) don't seem to be linked to the application tag.

Has anyone been able to link EKS fargate costs to a specific tag in cost explorer?

Answer 1

Kubernetes (EKS) tags are different from AWS native tags they don't get propagate to take advantage of cost allocation techniques . We hear this often from customer and it's something we are considering.
