IBM has announced its plan to acquire Kubecost, a startup focused on Kubernetes environment cost management.
Kubecost's cloud-based service helps organizations monitor and optimize Kubernetes clusters for efficient cost management.
Kubecost's capabilities will be integrated into IBM's expanding FinOps Suite, alongside other acquisitions like Apptio, Cloudability, Instana, and Turbonomic.
The acquisition will enhance IBM's cost monitoring toolset and may potentially integrate with the OpenShift application development platform.
