Pricing estimate for app insights

Question

I would like to get details about pricing for app insights for future AKS deployment.

Can you please get us the estimated cost for the following scenario from azure monitor perspective, within individual cost break-up :
23 nodes
Two disks per node
Two network interface per node
100 pods (5 container in each pod = 500 containers in total)
Two Kubernetes namespaces
19 Kubernetes services (includes kube-system pods, services, and namespace)
Collection frequency = 60 secs (default)

There was a cost calculation example In the following link : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/containers/container-insights-cost but was not clear to me.

Thanks in advance,
Sri

@Sri Harsha Suripeddi Currently, there is no way to calculate the size of data collected for any given workload. The estimation done in the Azure documents is based on real simulation of Azure Kubernetes Cluster. I would recommend you to navigate here and share your feedback or suggestions directly with the responsible Azure feature team and clicking the vote button of your suggestion to raise visibility and priority on it.

Here is a document which articulates on how to optimize costs for Azure Kubernetes cluster. Also, if you have an existing cluster environment , you can check the size of data that is being collected for an hour using below kusto query.

union withsource = tt *  
| where TimeGenerated > ago(1h)  
| where _IsBillable == true  
| summarize BillableDataMBytes = sum(_BilledSize)/ (1000. * 1000.) by tt
