Overview
Kubecost provides real-time cost visibility for teams running Kubernetes, breaking down cloud spend by Kubernetes concepts and across multiple clusters, accessible via web or API. It aggregates cloud costs with Kubernetes data and can merge external spend, offering recommendations, alerts, and integrations with collaboration tools like Teams and Slack. This gives Kubernetes-native cost attribution across clusters with the ability to relate external costs to Kubernetes concepts. The goal is to help users reduce cloud costs continuously while maintaining performance and reliability.
