Kubecost, the comprehensive solution for monitoring, managing, and optimizing Kubernetes spend at scale, today announced the launch of Kubecost 2.0. The release provides new tools and capabilities purpose-built to monitor and optimize Kubernetes-related cloud expenses even more easily and significantly—including for large-scale enterprises in the Fortune 100 and in complex and multi-cloud environments.
Cloud and Kubernetes costs continue to face upward pressure. The new CNCF Cloud Native FinOps + Cloud Financial Management Microsurvey found that overprovisioning, a lack of Kubernetes cost awareness and visibility, and Kubernetes cluster sprawl were the biggest factors leading organizations to overspend. As enterprises accelerate strategies to scale their use of Kubernetes without overspending, Kubecost continues to be—far and away, per the CNCF survey—the most deployed cloud-agnostic tool for cost monitoring and visibility.
“Modern businesses require real-time data and insights that can inform smarter decision-making across their organization, and understanding where and how their cloud spend is actually allocated is an increasingly critical part of that equation,” said Webb Brown, co-founder and CEO of Kubecost. “With high-performance cost forecasting, anomaly detection, and other capabilities, enterprises can cut tens of millions of dollars from cloud bills—budget and resources that can be applied elsewhere to grow their business. Kubecost 2.0 further empowers our customers to safely cut costs by avoiding unforeseen spikes, to understand consumption patterns with deeper insights, to make more immediate and data-backed decisions, and to deliver consistent and predictable optimization practices across their organizations.”
