    Look no farther than this tool if you need an API testing solution that also includes service virtualization. This technology also forces you to move your testing lifecycle to earlier stages of development, which improves the overall SDLC.

    We have a Kubernetes cluster spread across multiple cloud providers, including AWS, Google, and Azure. Kubecost consolidates data from all the providers and gives us insights. So instead of jumping between individual dashboards, Kubecost shows everything in one place. It helps us in right-sizing the cluster, which directly saves us costs. Although it gives us cluster insights, we still need to take action manually. It also provides insight into the Kube cluster only, but actual costs depend on other components as well, including databases, storage, etc.

    Pros
    Broadcom
    • This is an excellent tool for implementing Service virtualization in your own and/or third-party web services. This ensures that our automation and performance test environments are always available and consistent.
    • This application also aids in the setup and maintenance of test data, which is an important component of test automation.

    Cons
    Broadcom
    • This tool has a license fee and is not free. Many open-source tools provide free API testing solutions, therefore turning some of this tool's features open-source might be beneficial.
    • The tool's load testing component is not integrated and instead relies on the free Blaze meter.

    • I think there is room for improvement in IBM Kubecost if you Streamline IBM Kubecost more with AWS cost explorer

    Our engineers liked the devops dashboard and the initial deployment was very fast which meant the cost-allocation data was available right after deployment which the team further customized and enhanced based on our needs. Version 3.0 fixed a lot of concerns with the backend responsiveness, especially when running heavy multi-cluster api calls

    Along with the Parasoft SOA tool, it is unquestionably among the top leaders in API testing and virtualization. Many open-source API testing libraries are free, including Rest Assured, Karate, and even Postman and SOAP UI, which goes against CA.

    Among competitors, IBM Kubecost offers deeper insights into cluster metrics. It offers the highest data privacy, as the data stays in your private infrastructure. Although it can't provide Non-K8s cost insights, it still offers some insights based on tags, which is better than any other product.

    Return on Investment
    Broadcom
    • In our group, this instrument produced a high return on investment. We saw a considerable reduction in downtime in our test environments thanks to service virtualization.
    • In addition, service virtualization reduces the expenses of interacting with third-party services, which is common in low-cost contexts.

    • Given that we are going through a cloud transformation journey, IBM Kubecost has helped reduce the infra cost by up to 20% by detecting any wrong configuration early in the process
    • It also helped us determine the idle and orphaned resources that we could cleanup to save costs
