Episode 80 of Cloud Computing with Fexingo digs into a new line item appearing on enterprise cloud invoices: an explicit surcharge for container orchestration services like Kubernetes. Lucas and Luna break down how AWS EKS, Azure AKS, and Google GKE have started charging per cluster-hour and per pod-second, adding up to hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for heavy users. They examine a real case at a mid-size SaaS company whose Kubernetes bill jumped 23% after the tax kicked in, and discuss what engineering teams should do now — from cluster consolidation to alternative orchestrators like Nomad. If you manage cloud infrastructure, this one directly impacts your monthly run rate. No alarmism, just the numbers and trade-offs.
