Just saw the announcement. They're framing it as a "simplification." It's a price hike for most real workloads. Ephemeral storage is where all your logs, emptydir, and unpacked images go. It was effectively free before, bundled into the node cost.
Now you pay for what you use. Sounds fair until you realize how quickly it balloons. A single CI pod unpacking dependencies can chew through 20GB. Multiply that by concurrent jobs. Your "cost predictability" just vanished. This is a classic bait-and-switch: cheap core service, then monetize the opaque, unpredictable byproducts.
Just saying.
