SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Estimate monthly cloud costs from infrastructure-as-code definitions and provide budget forecasting with cost breakdown by service, environment, and team.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • IaC-based cost estimation: parse Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes manifests, and Pulumi to map resources to costs.
  • Regional awareness: detect deployment region from provider configs or variables with a default of us-east-1.
  • Budget breakdown: generate monthly cost summaries by service, environment, and team; produce environment breakdowns and assumptions.

Quick Start

Use the budget-forecast skill to estimate a monthly cloud cost from your IaC definitions located in the given infrastructure directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I estimate cloud costs from Terraform or Kubernetes manifests?

You can estimate cloud costs from Terraform, Kubernetes manifests, CloudFormation, or Pulumi by parsing the infrastructure-as-code definitions to map resources to monthly prices and generate a service-by-service budget breakdown.

Does cost estimation from IaC detect the deployment region automatically?

Cost estimation detects the deployment region from provider configurations or variables within your IaC files, defaulting to us-east-1 if no region is specified, to ensure accurate regional pricing.

How do I forecast monthly cloud budgets by environment and team?

To forecast monthly cloud budgets by environment and team, the tool parses your IaC definitions and produces a cost summary with environment allocations and service breakdowns.

What happens if my infrastructure-as-code files contain unknown resources?

When infrastructure-as-code files contain unknown resources or missing IaC, the forecast provides explicit assumptions and guidance on edge cases to help you understand the cost estimation gaps.

Can I use infrastructure-as-code cost estimation for FinOps budgeting?

Yes, you can use IaC cost estimation for FinOps budgeting by generating monthly cloud cost forecasts with detailed service and environment breakdowns directly from your infrastructure definitions.

What is the best way to get a cloud cost breakdown from Pulumi definitions?

The best way to get a cloud cost breakdown from Pulumi definitions is to parse the IaC files to map resources to costs, producing a detailed monthly forecast with service-level and environment allocations.
