Kubecost, the
comprehensive solution for monitoring, managing, and optimizing Kubernetes
spend at scale, announced an public beta of Kubecost Cloud.
Kubecost Cloud
is a cost-effective, secure, and easy-to-use SaaS version of Kubecost. First
announced in limited access late last year, Kubecost Cloud was built in
response to customer demand for a fully-managed solution aligned to
organizations' SaaS migrations and scale. Kubecost Cloud accelerates the
time-to-value for achieving real-time cost monitoring, reporting, and
optimization insights. Kubecost experts host and manage customers' Kubernetes
data while handling all platform operations, including maintenance and updates.

"Kubecost has always been focused on helping teams of all shapes and sizes
monitor and reduce their Kubernetes spend," said Webb Brown, co-founder and CEO
of Kubecost. "As the creators of the OpenCost and Kubecost open source
projects, our goal has always been to help users take advantage of these
capabilities with as little friction as possible. Kubecost Cloud expands on
that industry leadership by providing organizations with a fully-hosted,
fully-managed SaaS platform. After a very successful limited-access period, we
are excited to bring Kubecost Cloud to public beta. There is no easier way, no
more comprehensive way, and no more secure way to eliminate unnecessary
Kubernetes-related cloud spend."
Kubecost Cloud public beta customers will get 30 days of Kubecost Cloud for
free, in addition to the 30-day trial. They will also receive exclusive
content, access to invitation-only Slack channel and meetups, and conversations
with Kubecost founders and engineers to share and influence product vision and
industry best practices. In addition, pubic beta customers will benefit from:
- Engineering-focused FinOps: The FinOps Foundation
2023 State of FinOps survey shows the top challenge for FinOps
practitioners is enabling engineers to take action. Kubecost has been built
from the ground up to be used by developers.
- Simplicity: The Kubecost team
handles all operational requirements, including load balancing, scaling
replicas, upgrades, and more.
- Cost-effectiveness, security, speed,
and reliability: Kubecost
Cloud is priced per node and built to deliver significant and lasting ROI.
As a SaaS product, it will provide enterprise-grade security, performance,
and reliability.
"Kubernetes
is transformative for modernizing application development-but left unchecked,
Kubernetes costs will become an issue sooner than later," said Dave Smith,
Director of TechOps at Ask Media Group. "Ensuring cost efficiency takes
accountability, of course, but it also takes the right technology. As our
Kubernetes deployments have scaled at AMG, we've wanted to ensure we weren't
over-provisioning and over-spending. Kubecost has provided the necessary
insights that have empowered us to make confident decisions regarding our cloud
infrastructure spend. We've cut Kubernetes costs without cutting application
reliability and availability. We're excited to see how Kubecost Cloud will
further help us reduce our Kubernetes spend and become more efficient."
As more organizations understand how straightforward it can be to reduce
unnecessary Kubernetes spending, Kubecost is seeing accelerated growth as the
leader in Kubernetes cost allocation, monitoring, insights, and governance:
- OpenCost and open source community
leadership:
Kubecost drove the broader industry-wide initiative to launch the Cloud
Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project, OpenCost. Contributors
to OpenCost include Adobe, Armory, AWS, D2iQ, Kubecost, Google, Grafana
Labs, Microsoft, Mindcurv, New Relic, and SUSE.
Kubecost continues innovating rapidly to bring
customers and users new features and capabilities. In addition to today's
launch of Kubecost Cloud into public beta, other recent product releases have
enhanced governance and predictive capabilities.
