Mar 31, 2026 By CloudZero In CloudZero
Kubernetes (K8s) adoption has exploded over the past few years. But it hasn’t been easy to monitor, manage, and optimize K8s costs. To provide greater cost visibility into Kubernetes clusters and environments, Kubecost launched in 2019 and was acquired by IBM in 2024, while OpenCost debuted in 2022.

I Fixed a $30K/Year Anomaly in the Time It Takes to Make Coffee

Mar 31, 2026 By Larry Advey In CloudZero
If you work in FinOps, you know the feeling. You open your recommendations queue on a Monday morning. There are 47 items. You worked through 12 of them last week. You’re back up to 47 again.

Mar 30, 2026 By Keith MacKenzie In CloudZero
At SaaS Metrics Palooza 2025, CloudZero CEO Phil Pergola delivered a keynote on the software industry’s most pressing question: can SaaS survive the AI revolution, or will AI rewrite the SaaS playbook outright?
