Let’s talk about your background, as well as the team at Kubecost. Topic 2 - Let’s start by talking about why Kubernetes has a cost problem. Is this mostly driven by the underlying technology, or how companies use Kubernetes?Topic 3 - Walk us through the Kubecost open source project. How does it work, and how does it fit into the broader Kubernetes ecosystem?Topic 4 - What are the typical stages that a company goes through (using Kubernetes) where they realize that costs are a problem? Is it an “oh sh*t” moment with a EKS/GKE bill, or are they starting to build it into their normal Kubernetes cluster bills?Topic 5 - What are some of the common mistakes that companies make when using Kubernetes that drive up costs? Is Kubecost mostly focused on identifying them, or trying to improve them?Topic 6 - With the economy starting to slow down post-COVID-pandemic, are you starting to see a new level of cost-consciousness starting to kick in for Kubernetes users?FEEDBACK?Email: show at the cloudcast dot netTwitter: @thecloudcastnetFuture Fit FounderBrave founders jump in my coaching time machine to revisit their toughest momentListen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify
