IBM is acquiring Kubecost, a leading Kubernetes cost monitoring and optimization software company, to show its commitment to growing in the FinOps space.
The addition of Kubecost to IBM’s FinOps solutions deepens IBM’s support for FinOps teams, DevOps teams, and the open-source community, according to the company.
Following IBM’s recent acquisition of Apptio in 2023, the addition of Kubecost adds best-in-class container cost management to the IBM FinOps Suite.
IBM’s FinOps suite combines IBM Cloudability’s FinOps capabilities and IBM Turbonomic’s AI-automated cloud performance optimization integrations in one solution to give teams the ability to inform, optimize, and operate cloud investments regardless of where their workloads are hosted
Kubecost delivers real-time cost visibility and insights needed to not only understand infrastructure spend, but intelligently reduce spend and avoid over-provisioning within Kubernetes environments. With direct integrations into the Kubernetes and cloud billing APIs, FinOps teams can get a comprehensive view of their workloads to optimize cloud spend and prevent resource-based outages. This deeper view into Kubernetes workload optimization becomes easier with Kubecost.
Founded in 2019, Kubecost is based in San Francisco, CA and is led by co-founder and CEO, Webb Brown and co-founder and CTO, Ajay Tripathy.
