In Container Cost Allocation, we are able to distribute idle(unallocated) resources' cost by % of total  for costs by namespace or label. 
Unfortunately, this option is not available while creating a report using the 'Cluster Name' or 'Namespace' dimension. So if we have to create a cost allocation or chargeback report for a Cloud account running Kubernetes, we have to rely on multiple reports. 
I heard that Apptio is going to release a feature that allows distribution of K8s's Idle resources cost even in reports. 
Anyone has an idea about the ETA for this ?

I've also created an enhancement idea if this feature isn't already in the backlog.  -> https://community.apptio.com/idea/ability-to-distribute-idleunallocated-kubernetes-costs-in-custom-reports

Hi Prashant!

It is on the roadmap and should come somewhere within H1 of this year. Probably sooner than later. I can't promise anything more than that.

Thanks for raising the request
Have a good day
