The general availability (GA) of Kubecost Cloud was announced today by Kubecost, an all-inclusive solution for tracking, controlling, and optimizing Kubernetes expenditure at scale. With the help of this SaaS version of Kubecost, users can cut waste and have more insight into their cloud expenses associated with Kubernetes. The announcement comes at Google Cloud Next ’23, Google Cloud’s annual cloud conference, as Kubecost also shares the news of Kubecost Cloud availability on Google Cloud Marketplace.
With the rising expenses of cloud computing associated with Kubernetes and the growing importance and visibility of FinOps initiatives, the new Kubecost Cloud GA would significantly cut costs without sacrificing application performance or requiring continuous engineering efforts to maintain. Real-time cost monitoring, reporting, and actionable optimization insights are achieved faster thanks to the secured and fully managed solution. Kubecost Cloud has already been deployed with more than 1,000 nodes, having been utilized by clients throughout a fruitful beta phase.
Kubecost President Trenton Truitt said, "Kubecost Cloud empowers users to think big, start small, and scale quickly." Customers may sign up for a free trial of our robust cost optimization technology and begin viewing all of their cloud expenses in as little as five minutes if they want a fully managed alternative. It is challenging to make sure you use all of your nodes and containers effectively, which might result in overspending and overprovisioning. Comprehensive and seamless Kubernetes cost monitoring and cost optimization are essential for company operations, particularly at large scale.”
Optimizing High-Performance Costs
In the ‘State of Kubernetes Cost Optimization’ study, which was just published by Google Cloud, anonymized Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters were examined. What Google Cloud refers to as the Golden Signals are the four areas that accounted for the greatest segment performance. Workload rightsizing, demand-based downscaling, cluster bin packing, and cloud discount coverage are some examples of these signals. Kubecost is a high-performance solution that would make it simple and fast for businesses to get meaningful insights on these signals.
Customers of Kubecost Cloud beta would often list a number of key advantages, such as:
- Detailed Cost Visibility and Allocation at the Namespace, Deployment, and Service Levels - Kubecost gives users of public clouds access to comprehensive cost visibility and allocation. Easily monitor expenses for Kubernetes clusters, namespaces, pods, and labels to improve resource allocation choices and budget forecasts.
- Cost Optimization - Kubecost finds significant cost-cutting chances, such removing unused resources, maximizing node and container utilization, and making good use of preemptible instances. By using Kubecost's context-aware suggestions, firms may save costs by at least 30–50%, according to the company itself.
- Unified Cost Monitoring for Multi-Cloud Environments - Kubernetes may be safely used on-premises or with cloud providers. With the help of Kubecost, cost monitoring across many Kubernetes clusters can be seen unifiedly in multi-cloud scenarios.
- Skilled Customer service and Training - Kubecost provides top-notch customer service to guarantee a flawless user experience and a smooth installation. A wealth of training materials and discussion boards help users get the most out of Kubecost.
Collaboration with Google Cloud
The Google Cloud Marketplace now offers Kubecost Cloud.
"Organizations are looking for ways to better track and control their Kubernetes usage and expenses," said Dai Vu, Managing Director of Google Cloud's Cloud Marketplace & ISV GTM Programs. “Kubecost's solution, which is now available on the Google Cloud Marketplace, enables teams to make scalable, reasonably priced improvements to applications and infrastructure.”
