Celebrating a Milestone: Kubecost Surpasses 10 Million Installs

We are excited to announce a major milestone in our journey towards revolutionizing Kubernetes cost management: we’ve reached over 10 million installs. As the most widely used Kubernetes cost management tool, we’re so proud to be helping organizations of all sizes understand and optimize cloud spending to drive business growth. This has been our mission since day one, and it’s amazing to see the impact we’ve made, from helping companies save millions to fostering innovation through our open-source platform and open philosophy.

Ten years ago, Kubernetes revolutionized how applications are managed, deployed, and scaled. But with this innovation came a new challenge: understanding and managing cloud costs in more complex and dynamic environments. That’s where Kubecost stepped in. Our co-founder and CEO, Webb Brown, explains:

“While Kubernetes offers incredible opportunities, cloud costs are often one of the biggest hurdles, especially at scale. We created Kubecost to tackle this head-on, enabling teams to cut waste without impacting performance.”

Real Impact, Real Savings

We’re so proud to be helping customers across several industries save millions of dollars. Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what Accrete’s CISO experienced after integrating Kubecost:

“Within four months of implementing Kubecost, we identified and clawed back close to $1 million in annualized Kubernetes-related cloud costs. We can now much more accurately define annual revenue targets, spending, and product margins.”
