SUNNYVALE, Calif., November 10, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hystax, the leading FinOps and multi-cloud cost management solution provider, announced today that its open source FinOps and cloud cost optimization tool, OptScale, will now support the Google Cloud Platform.
This new feature will allow teams aiming for GCP cost optimization to benefit from the first-ever open source FinOps solution. It was initially brought to the market as an open source code in August and already fully supports AWS, Microsoft Azure, Alibaba Cloud and Kubernetes.
As a result, users responsible for GCP cost management can now leverage a helpful tool and utilize the full source code on the Hystax GitHub page. The solution is aimed to address common challenges GCP users encounter, including getting full cloud cost transparency, identifying wastage and reducing their GCP bills overall. Access to the OptScale open source solution is granted to users by the Apache 2.0 license.
"With close to 914,000 companies utilizing the Google Cloud Platform today, we are thrilled to be able to bring OptScale as the first open source cloud cost optimization solution into their daily fold," said Nick Smirnov, Founder & CEO of Hystax.
Google Cloud Platform users can now benefit from a variety of useful cloud optimization capabilities which OptScale delivers. OptScale can help them assess their FinOps readiness and maturity stage, as well as receive tangible real-time recommendations for improvements and reduce cloud costs.
Teams being charged with cloud cost optimization and cloud cost management can now find great value in the company's FinOps strategy and adoption. They are also now privy to dozens of cost optimization scenarios and security recommendations designed for Google Cloud specifically.
FinOps teams can leverage capabilities which include cost allocation, budget constraints, daily limits and quotas with instant alerts. They can also utilize anomaly detection to avoid bill shocks and engineering engagement in GCP cost optimization. Additionally, OptScale can now provide GCP users with its best-in-class VM rightsizing engine and a network traffic visualizer.
With geographic and network traffic cost mapping, OptScale can also help companies make decisions on their Google Cloud regions to cut cloud costs for greater efficiency. Leveraging OptScale will allow GCP users to track all of their resources in different regions, identify risks and make optimizations to prevent unnecessary overspending. The OptScale network traffic visualizer can help FinOps teams using GCP work more efficiently. With OptScale, they can now see their accumulated expenses for paid network traffic among cloud regions and additional services.
The Hystax team invested in this launch with the goal of making Google Cloud cost optimization efforts much more simple. OptScale offers a method for proper engineering engagement in FinOps and cloud cost savings as well. With OptScale, team members share the ownership and responsibility for the cloud resources that they use.
