Kubecost 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 has always been focused on helping teams of all shapes and sizes monitor and reduce their Kubernetes spend," said Webb Brown, co-founder and CEO of Kubecost. "As the creators of the OpenCost and Kubecost open source projects, our goal has always been to help users take advantage of these capabilities with as little friction as possible. Kubecost Cloud expands on that industry leadership by providing organizations with a fully-hosted, fully-managed SaaS platform. After a very successful limited-access period, we are excited to bring Kubecost Cloud to public beta. There is no easier way, no more comprehensive way, and no more secure way to eliminate unnecessary Kubernetes-related cloud spend."

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, public beta customers will benefit from:

- Engineering-focused FinOps: 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.

Kubecost continues innovating rapidly to bring customers and users new features and capabilities.
