  • Calculating Cost like a DevOps Boss with Infracost and AWS

    First, follow the instructions found here to download and authenticate Infracost. This includes creating an org inside the platform, which is where you can fetch the API key. Then we need a quick way to spin up some small AWS instances and then quickly dial them up to more expensive options.
  • Open-source cloud cost policies?
    2 projects | /r/devops | 26 Jan 2022
    I wanted to share an interesting learning from the open source project https://github.com/infracost/infracost/ and see what people think about writing policies for cloud costs using things like Open Policy Agent and HashiCorp Sentinel. For example: https://github.com/infracost/actions/tree/master/examples/opa
  • Show HN: Infracost (YC W21) – open-source cloud cost policies
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 26 Jan 2022
    We couldn't wait either so we talked with other TFE users who were using Infracost and we learned from them to make an example of how to run it with GitHub Actions: https://github.com/infracost/actions/tree/master/examples/te...

    We have similar examples for GitLab (https://gitlab.com/infracost/infracost-gitlab-ci/-/tree/mast...) and Azure DevOps (https://github.com/infracost/infracost-azure-devops/tree/mas...).

    Happy to help with any issues via infracost.io/community-chat

  • How do you handle Azure/Google cloud creds in GitHub Actions?
    5 projects | /r/Terraform | 7 Dec 2021
    I've recently been working on a new set of composable GitHub actions to run the open source Infracost project in CI/CD pipelines. For AWS, I see users using https://github.com/aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials to setup their creds (Terraform then uses those).

  • Infracost diff - "git diff" but for cloud costs
    4 projects | /r/devops | 19 Mar 2021
    You don't have write it in Bash to do that, right? I mean, your GH action is working by downloading a Docker container which you control. So you could write the CI script in Python, TypeScript, Go, or anything else, because you control what gets installed in that container.
