In this episode of Kubernetes Bytes, Jonathan Phillips & Sean Pomeroy from Kubecost join us to talk about understanding the cost of Kubernetes clusters. Kubernetes and the pods that run within the cluster are a large part of the cost story but it doesn't end there, networking, object storage, egress and more are part of the pull optimization story when it comes to cost. Hear what Jonathon and Sean have to say about cost, Kubernetes and what Kubecost can help you achieve.

In this episode of Kubernetes Bytes, Bhavin and Ryan talk with Vishnu Korde, CEO and Chief Architect of StackOS. The hosts explore the topic of "DeCloud" or decentralized cloud which aims to create anonymity through the use of cross-chain open protocols allowing individuals and organizations to create a decentralized computing layer for the internet allowing teams to bypass traditional infrastructure management and cloud compute silos. Learn how Vishnu's company StackOS is tackling this problem and how they are using Kubernetes as a orchestration layer to provide application deployment into this DeCloud.
