More than idle shutdowns. Agentic FinOps.
Harness brings cost into the pipeline with AutoStopping. Cloudgov brings the whole FinOps loop — agentic savings ranking, IaC remediation, commitments and governance across your entire multicloud estate.
CCM + AutoStopping
Agents that take action
Why teams pick a Harness CCM alternative
FinOps is too important to be a side module. Learn more about our platform capabilities.
FinOps inside a DevOps suite
Strong AutoStopping for K8s thin elsewhere.
- ▢Best of breed only for Kubernetes (AutoStopping)
- ▢Cost and ROI calls require buying the broader CI/CD platform
- ▢Limited depth on RI/SP/CUD portfolio management
- ▢Governance scoped to CCM module, not multicloud-wide
- ▢Roadmap split across CI, CD, FF, IDP and CCM
A focused FinOps platform
The Harness CCM alternative that doesn't ask you to switch CI/CD vendors.
- ✓FinOps is the product not a side feature
- ✓Multicloud Agentic AI across AWS, Azure and GCP
- ✓Full commitment portfolio: RIs, SPs and CUDs auto-managed
- ✓Works with any CI/CD no platform lock-in
- ✓Native Jira workflow plus IaC pull requests
Only Cloudgov closes the loop
FinOps without a DevOps platform tax. AI-powered optimization, governance and remediation that ships fixes — wherever your code ships from. See how it works on our FinOps blog.
Agentic AI
Autonomous agents continuously scan, score and execute the next best optimization across every account.
Auto Remediation
Turn recommendations into executed actions right-sizing, cleanup, RI/SP moves, IaC pull requests.
Governance
Define a policy once. Cloudgov enforces it across every workload, account and region, continuously.
Engineering Workflows
Findings flow straight into Jira with owner, severity and fix path — so engineers actually act on them.

Want FinOps that isn't bundled with CI/CD?
See Cloudgov in a focused 30-minute demo — no DevOps platform purchase required.
We already use Harness for CI/CD — wouldn't it be easier to just add CCM?
If your only optimization need is Kubernetes AutoStopping, Harness CCM does that well. But Harness CCM’s roadmap is split across Harness’s broader DevOps platform — meaning FinOps depth lags behind dedicated tools. Cloudgov gives you full-stack FinOps without forcing CI/CD platform decisions; you can use Harness for deploys and Cloudgov for cost.
Does Cloudgov work as well on Kubernetes as Harness CCM does?
Yes. Cloudgov supports cluster-level cost allocation, idle workload detection, namespace-level showback and Karpenter/Cluster Autoscaler tuning. We don’t bundle this with a CI/CD platform, so the Kubernetes FinOps experience is standalone and works regardless of how you deploy.
Is Cloudgov more expensive than the Harness CCM module?
Harness CCM is bundled with the Harness platform, so the “price” depends on what else you’re buying. When customers compare apples-to-apples — full FinOps capabilities — Cloudgov typically comes in lower because there’s no broader platform tax. We’re happy to do a side-by-side pricing breakdown in the demo.
