Last year, we were excited to announce our acquisition by IBM. This opened new possibilities for our users by combining Kubecost’s real-time Kubernetes cost monitoring and optimization with Apptio, an IBM company’s industry-leading FinOps solution, IBM Cloudability. Our commitment to providing Kubernetes cost monitoring expertise remains stronger than ever. Bringing Kubecost into the IBM portfolio alongside Cloudability strengthens the value we provide to teams working to optimize cloud costs across the stack. As a part of this acquisition and integration, we’ve moved Kubecost.com to Apptio.com.

One Website, One Experience

We have transitioned Kubecost.com to Apptio.com. This move allows you to explore our combined capabilities under one site, including Apptio’s entire set of IT and cloud financial management products—as well as Kubecost.

Better Together

Since our founding, Kubecost has helped DevOps engineers and application development teams track and reduce their Kubernetes spend with real-time cost visibility across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Now, alongside Cloudability, we can jointly take on our shared mission of empowering DevOps engineering and finance teams to collaborate on understanding, allocating, and optimizing their cloud investments.

Apptio helps teams make smart decisions about cloud and IT spend across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Cloudability helps organizations hold teams financially accountable and maximize the value of their cloud investments. As the newest addition to the IBM portfolio, Kubecost remains focused on empowering DevOps engineers and finance teams to monitor and continually reduce Kubernetes costs from the moment they start building and operating Kubernetes workloads.

Together, we’re uniquely positioned to help every FinOps practitioner along their maturity journey with comprehensive and innovative capabilities, including:

• End-to-End Cloud Cost Transparency: Get real-time Kubernetes cost data from Kubecost and broader cloud insights from Cloudability.
• Stronger FinOps Collaboration: Give engineering, finance, and business teams a shared view of cloud costs—enabling smarter allocation, budgeting, and forecasting.
• Comprehensive Cloud Optimization: Use insights from across IBM’s portfolio to drive cost efficiency, improve resource utilization, and support sustainable cloud growth.
• Enterprise-Ready Governance: Kubecost’s granular Kubernetes insights enhance the robust reporting, compliance, and governance features that both Cloudability and Kubecost customers rely on.

We’re proud of what we’ve built—and even more excited about what’s ahead. By joining Apptio and IBM, Kubecost is better equipped than ever to help teams gain control of cloud costs and scale smarter.
