OpenCost 1.109.0 is now available and has a host of new features, enhancements, and bug fixes. This release has over 200 commits from 24 individuals and 8 of them are from first-time contributors. This is also the first release with a non-Kubecost Maintainer. Highlights from the release include:

• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure support has been added, enabling Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) users to track their Cost Allocations across their deployments.
• Additional patches for Docker have been merged, making it easier to track Cloud Costs without requiring Kubernetes to be installed. This will allow Cloud Costs and other non-Kubernetes functionality to be accessed wherever you may need it.
• The OpenCost and OpenCost-UI containers have been moved to the GitHub Container Registry. The OpenCost Helm Chart, the Prometheus OpenCost Exporter, and the OpenCost manifest are all being updated to reflect the new download location.
• The OpenCost UI now shows the version of OpenCost being used in the footer. This is included in the startup logging of each container as well, but it should help make debugging a little easier.

There were many more community-provided enhancements, fixes, and additional tests that were added to continue improving OpenCost. Please join us in the OpenCost community and help build our next great release!

We are thrilled to announce that OpenCost is expanding beyond Kubernetes (K8s) cost monitoring to provide a fully open source cloud cost monitoring solution. This marks our first major expansion since becoming a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project in 2021.

In an era where cloud computing has become an integral part of most businesses, keeping track of infrastructure costs can be a daunting task. This is becoming even more challenging with the growing use of shared infrastructure, multi-cloud and an ever increasing number of other infrastructure solutions. As the complexity of cloud environments expands, there is a pressing need for unified and open solutions that provide a clear and normalized view of all infrastructure expenditures. That's where we see OpenCost playing an increasingly key role.

OpenCost UI now allows you to monitor cloud cost by service, tag, and more. It also provides the ability to drill down all the way to individual item level
