SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams quickly estimate and review the monthly cost of AWS resources (compute, storage, data transfer) for proposed architectures, enabling better budgeting before deployment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cost estimation for services like Lambda, EC2, RDS, S3, and API Gateway based on usage assumptions.
  • Cost optimization recommendations such as reserved instances, right-sizing, and storage class adjustments.
  • Use Case: Plan a new architecture and receive a monthly cost breakdown with per-service and total estimates.

Quick Start

Provide a proposed AWS architecture and usage assumptions to receive a monthly cost estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions about aws-cost-estimator

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I estimate AWS costs for a proposed architecture before deployment?▼

You can estimate AWS costs by providing your proposed architecture and usage assumptions to receive a monthly cost breakdown. The estimate covers compute, storage, and data transfer costs across services like EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3, and API Gateway.

What is the best way to optimize my AWS cloud spend for monthly budgeting?▼

To optimize AWS cloud spend, this Skill provides cost optimization recommendations such as reserved instances, right-sizing, and storage class adjustments. It highlights high-cost items in your architecture to help you plan a more efficient monthly budget.

Can I calculate monthly budgeting costs for AWS Lambda and EC2 together?▼

Yes, you can calculate monthly budgeting costs for AWS Lambda and EC2 together. The cost estimation process evaluates resource usage across multiple services simultaneously, applying public AWS pricing to generate per-service and total monthly estimates.

Does the AWS cost estimation support RDS and S3 storage pricing?▼

Yes, AWS cost estimation supports RDS and S3 storage pricing. It calculates monthly compute, storage, and data transfer costs for these services based on your usage assumptions, applying public AWS pricing to deliver approximate budget estimates.

Are AWS architecture cost estimates exact or approximate?▼

AWS architecture cost estimates are explicitly approximate. The Skill uses public AWS pricing with clear assumptions and labels all estimates as approximate, helping you understand the potential monthly cloud spend without guaranteeing exact final billing amounts.
