Data on Kubernetes Community

Abstract of the talk…

For IT decision-makers, this goes above and beyond just keeping infrastructure running and efficient; it is about understanding how your IT budget affects your business, and how well your resources maximize the use of your budget. This makes it critically important that IT teams can more quickly and easily see the totality of their IT costs across the hybrid cloud.
We’re pleased to introduce a new software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering intended to help our customers better understand the costs of their OpenShift environments: OpenShift cost management. Available free of charge as part of a Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform subscription, OpenShift cost management provides a simplified, more intuitive view into the costs, from the macro to the granular, of an OpenShift deployment.
