How it works

Kubecost surfaces detailed cost allocation across Kubernetes clusters, namespaces, workloads, and containers. IBM Turbonomic consumes this cost data and correlates it with real-time utilization and application demand.

Turbonomic then generates automated actions that right-size resources, eliminate waste, and prevent overprovisioning by ensuring cost optimization decisions do not compromise application performance.
