10 Mistakes You're making in Kubernetes that cost you money
It can be tough in large environments to find where you're less efficient or where most of the money goes. Optimizing by hunch often fails. You might spend a week improving a service by 80%, only to realize the total cost was just $200/month. Meanwhile, a 5% improvement on another area could have saved you $5,000/month. There are some great Open-source tools built for that, like OpenCost.

Kubernetes Cost Management with the New OpenCost Plugin for Headlamp
I believe for AWS, they use these ratios: https://github.com/opencost/opencost/blob/c2de805f66d0ba0e53...
So in your example, 6 CPU + 16GiB is roughly 2x more than 2 CPU and 16GiB, so if that node cost say $6/hr, you'd expect it to be allocated $2 to the first and $4 to the second.
They have these weights for various clouds here: https://github.com/opencost/opencost/tree/c2de805f66d0ba0e53...

Show HN: Cloud Costs Monitoring in Docker
OpenCost is an open source implementation for Kubernetes cost monitoring and now cloud cost monitoring for AWS, Azure, and GCP. The project makes all of this data accessible via an API and user interface. While discussing the idea of running OpenCost on platforms besides Kubernetes we realized that with this new Cloud Costs feature there are users who want API access to their cloud billing data without needing to run on Kubernetes. I opened the Issue OpenCost without Kubernetes #2268 and as luck would have it, we had our internal Hackathon last week.
If you're not familiar with OpenCost, it's the open source CNCF project for monitoring Kubernetes and cloud spending. It's a Golang implementation of the OpenCost Specification for monitoring Kubernetes cloud costs. It has an optional web UI and you can also run it as a Prometheus metrics exporter. The code is all at https://github.com/opencost/opencost and you can learn more about the project at https://opencost.io
