Kubecost, an open source solution for monitoring, managing, and optimizing Kubernetes spend at scale, has announced a 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 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.

In addition to today’s launch of Kubecost Cloud into public beta, other recent product releases have enhanced governance and predictive capabilities.
