Kubernetes Cost Management with Matt Ray

As companies move more and more workloads to the cloud, cost management in the cloud is becoming critically important. Modern application development methodology increasingly involves moving to service and microservice architectures enabled by the cloud and kubernetes is the backbone of this modern infrastructure trend. Managing costs of kubernetes clusters is therefore becoming increasingly important. Kubecost is the company focused on giving visibility into kubernetes resources, allowing you to reduce your overall kubernetes based infrastructure spend. OpenCost is an open-source project by Kubecost and supported by a few other partner companies. Matt Ray is Senior Community Manager at OpenCost and he joins us today.

Microservices have transformed software. If your organization hasn’t transitioned into using them , there’s a good chance it will in the future. There are a lot of complex aspects to consider as part of that: portability, automation, security, and observability to name a few. 

To get ready, start by signing up for Microservices March – a free event hosted by our friends at NGINX. The program is a 4-week series of demos and labs that teach the fundamentals of microservices and how to deliver them successfully.  

This event is great because the training is all self-paced and flexible: You can choose the bits and pieces you want to spend time on, and do it on your own schedule.
