Cloud Cost Tool Provides Kubernetes Insights but Faces Integration Challenges Ahead

Cost Sharing and Forecast Features Valued, But Optimization Capabilities Fall Short

Top of mind is the fact that this tool works across the cloud providers we use pretty seamlessly. Anything that can help us understand and control our costs more while not adding more complexity is always a huge bonus. Secondly we do use this in addition to another product that it integrates seamlessly with allowing us to bring in our kubernates costs into one single pane of glass for a broader discussion on our cloud infrastructure costs. On top of all this did I mention that not only does it help to derive numbers and cost insights but the direction the tool is heading in with AI integration is also providing my team a number of insights and suggestions on optmizing our costs.

Our smart-ass engineers are using Anthropic LLMs to feed utilization data and have it generate optimization recommendations. They are literally crapping on Cloudability and making it look very deficient.
