The OpenCost project proudly announces that we’ve reached CNCF Incubating status! This milestone in our journey underscores the significant dedication the project has received from the community that contributes to OpenCost. We’d like to thank the developers, Kubernetes practitioners, and FinOps teams from organizations across the globe that continue to make this project meaningful.

Cloud-native adoption continues accelerating, and the need for clear, manageable insights into Kubernetes costs keeps pace. OpenCost addresses this need as an open-source tool designed to make Kubernetes cost management more accessible and standardized. Initially launched through a collaborative effort led by Kubecost and supported by experts from organizations like Amazon, Adobe, Google, Microsoft, and SUSE, OpenCost was welcomed into the CNCF Sandbox to improve cost management for Kubernetes. Our promotion to CNCF Incubation reflects strong community support and the important challenges it seeks to address.

OpenCost fills a critical gap by providing real-time visibility into Kubernetes costs across multi-cloud environments. With its vendor-neutral framework, OpenCost enables teams to allocate costs by Kubernetes service, deployment, container, and more. By standardizing cost allocation, OpenCost helps reduce cost overruns and gives teams a trusted model for budget planning, regardless of whether they use AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, or on-premises infrastructure.
