Finout jumped into Kubernetes

Finout, a fast growing FinOps player, just announced a strategic new product iteration dedicated to Kubernetes. We discovered the company end of March during The IT Press Tour organized in Israel.

IT vendors prepare themselves for the Kubernetes tsunami they all expect but the situation is bit different with fuzzy adoption, small project, subscription based, small storage capacity and long sales cycle. All these aspects weaken players who have to raise new round to survive, at least they try. In other words the strong adoption of Kubernetes is really exaggerated. For sure, it works well for theLinux Foundation that creates again a cash machine, just have a look to KubeCon and the sponsorship package and you'll get the picture.

Finout understands perfectly that opportunity and releases an agentless cost governance suite to control cloud cost in various deployment modes.

This suite covers all aspects with the detection and management of any cloud waste cycles and services, I should say zones where a company finally lost money for nothing, forecast spend with a budget under control. It works for all Kubernetes environments such EKS, AKS, GKE and others.

In details this suite provides:

  • Unlimited Clusters: support and analyze unlimited Kubernetes clusters with no additional charge.
  • Unified MegaBill: offer a dedicated view and context for Kubernetes in a unified dashboard.
  • Budget and Forecasting: track divergence with a pre-defined budget with service granularity and offer adjustments. Also machine learning module is added to predict spend.
  • Anomaly Detection: detect spend anomalies with teams, applications or services granularity.
  • Kubernetes CostGuard: recommend dynamically some cost optimization to master Kubernetes cost.
We'll meet them again during KubeCon in Amsterdam this week, for sure it will be huge but what is the reality behind this effervescence?
