Born out of Kubecost, OpenCost introduces a new community-driven specification and accompanying implementation to bring greater visibility into current and historic Kubernetes spend and resource allocation. OpenCost is an open-source, vendor-neutral CNCF sandbox project that recently became a FinOps Certified Solution.
Working in collaboration with project maintainers and community members, AKS has made several contributions to augment OpenCost and enable seamless integration with Azure.
