Google Kubernetes Engine is introducing a cluster management fee on June 6

I think this is fair: for hobbyists, a free zonal cluster is sufficient and you probably wouldn't use more than one cluster. For businesses/revenue drivers, the $7.30/mo/cluster is nothing (EDIT: actually $73/mo/cluster, which may be a tougher sell but if the business is in a case where it benefits from Kubernetes, it's still likely insignificant relative to the cost of actually running the VMs on it )

What's unfair about the situation is the fact that Google's sales people hyped this up as an advantage over other providers for years.

Just doubling down on the free zonal cluster as a hobby tier. Folks seem to be missing that among the announcement.

If I'm not mistaken, it should be $73.00+/mo

Oops, I can't math. Fixed.
