While Kubecost is very critical tool, providing useful information about your organization's kubernets cost patterns, it could use additional features like better integration with other IBM tools. Having the ability to incorporate other IBM tools will be helpful for users and leadership as well as increase overall awareness of what other Products IBM provides.
