ARMO · FinOps Profile

Armosec Finops

FinOps view of ARMO spend. ARMO Platform is a managed SaaS billed primarily on the size of the protected environment - the number of vCPUs and cloud resources - plus a chosen support tier, with a free tier to start and additional setup / integration fees for on-premises and air-gapped installations. The dominant cost driver is the count of protected vCPUs across connected Kubernetes clusters. The underlying Kubescape engine is open source and free to self-host, trading the subscription fee for your own infrastructure and operational cost.
