Optimization techniques for cloud spend

Optimization techniques for cloud spending are crucial for organizations looking to maximize their cloud investment while minimizing unnecessary costs. Integrating GitOps with tools such as Kubecost can significantly streamline this process, providing a systematic approach to managing and reducing cloud expenses. Here’s how this combination can be leveraged to enhance cloud spend optimization.

Combining GitOps and Kubecost for cloud spend optimization

GitOps, by design, brings automation, predictability, and transparency to cloud operations. It establishes a Git repository as the SSOT for the entire infrastructure, which means every change is version-controlled, traceable, and reversible. This methodical approach is instrumental in cloud spend optimization.
