SAN FRANCISCO and KUBECON EU, May 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kubecost, a solution for monitoring, managing, and optimizing Kubernetes spend at scale, today announced it has more than doubled adoption recently as developers, engineers, and FinOps teams seek to control runaway cloud costs and unnecessary spend.
Enterprise use of Kubernetes continues to scale quickly as organizations modernize application development. The most recent Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) survey on Kubernetes and container deployment trends found that 96% of businesses are now using or actively evaluating containers in production environments. For many businesses, Kubernetes-related cloud expenses have been rising even faster. A separate CNCF report specific to Kubernetes spending underscored how significantly costs have been increasing. While most enterprises reported higher cloud bills attributed to Kubernetes in the past year, 35% of all respondents said their Kubernetes costs have gone up dramatically, with costs climbing more than 20%.
“With the right data, organizations can confidently scale their container deployments knowing precisely where their budget is going,” said Stacy Tumarkin, head of operations at Kubecost. “Kubecost is built to ensure teams aren’t paying for resources they don’t need, and they can do so without impacting the speed of development or the performance of their applications. Kubernetes is an incredibly powerful platform and the future of development—but enterprises can use and scale it without overpaying the cloud costs that so many of them are right now.”
