cost-model
Discontinued Cross-cloud cost allocation models for Kubernetes workloads [Moved to: https://github.com/kubecost/opencost]
-
vcluster
vCluster - Create fully functional virtual Kubernetes clusters - Each vcluster runs inside a namespace of the underlying k8s cluster. It's cheaper than creating separate full-blown clusters and it offers better multi-tenancy and isolation than regular namespaces.
-
InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

Kubecost gives you insight into where your Kubernetes spend is going. You can view your spend per namespace, service, or even team, and you can set budgets and get real-time alerts. Kubecost can also track other cloud spend from things like RDS and S3, and it also works with on-prem k8s clusters. Kubecost also offers an open source version.
In 2021 we also released two new open source projects: vcluster, a tool for creating and using virtual Kubernetes clusters, and jsPolicy, a tool for writing policies for Kubernetes clusters in JavaScript or TypeScript. vcluster especially gained a lot of traction and our CEO Lukas Gentele gave a talk about it at KubeCon Los Angeles.

sigstore is an open source project for “signing, verifying and protecting software,” as its [web site] says. There’s been an extremely heightened amount of awareness about software supply chain security since the Solar Winds compromise, and sigstore makes the processes of both signing your software and validating signatures easy. Chainguard is a company founded by Dan and a few other folks (Matt Moore, Scott Nichols, Ville Aikas, and Kim Lewandowski) to offer commercial services around sigstore and SLSA.
I’m biased on this one since I work at Loft Labs, so I’m offering it as a bonus entry. I joined the company in April of 2021 because I thought the folks there were solving important problems that many Kubernetes users experience and doing it in smart ways.
Isovalent makes an enterprise version of Cilium, an open source tool that uses eBPF to provide security and observability for cloud native environments. Liz gave a great talk at KubeCon Los Angeles about eBPF that I highly recommend. My reaction to her talk was that I wished I had Cilium years ago to troubleshoot some difficult incidents. When I first heard about eBPF I had thought of it more from the observability standpoint, but Cilium also provides a CNI plugin, transparent encryption, logs for security audits, and much more.
