Billable Items
The service fees for TKE consists of two parts, cluster management fees and Tencent Cloud service resources fees.
Cluster management fees
Managed clusters incur the cluster management fees based on their cluster models. For more information, see Cluster Management Fees. Tencent Cloud service resources fees
Other Tencent Cloud services resources (such as CVM, CBS and CLB) created during the usage of TKE will be charged based on the billing mode for each resource. For more information, see Tencent Cloud Services Resources Fees. Cluster Management Fees
Billing Mode
The billing mode of pay-as-you-go is usually adopted for TKE.

Recommendations for small clusters
If your cluster has only a small number of nodes (less than 20), we highly recommend you use TKE Serverless Cluster . With TKE Serverless cluster, you can deploy workloads and pay for actual container usage, with no need to purchase nodes and pay cluster management fees. You can choose to migrate your existing TKE general clusters as needed in the following ways:
Conduct smooth business migration through super nodes to reduce the number of nodes in the TKE general cluster and thereby lower the cluster management fees (such fees are not charged for super nodes; for more information, see Pricing below). Pricing
Note:
The unit prices are varied depending on the region. Please refer to the prices displayed in the console.
The billing cycle of a cluster starts when the cluster is created. You can view the cluster creation time by going to the TKE console > Basic Information.
Tencent Cloud Service Resources Fees
Other Tencent Cloud service resources (such as CVM, CBS and CLB) created during the usage of TKE will be charged based on each billing mode. For more information, see billing description for each resource.
Note:
TKE is a declarative service based on Kubernetes. When you do not need CLB, CBS or other IaaS service resources created by TKE, you must delete them in TKE console, otherwise, TKE will re-create them and continue to charge fees. For example, if you delete a CLB instance in CLB console instead of in TKE console, TKE will re-create a CLB instance based on declarative APIs.
