terraform-cost-estimation VS terratest

terraform-cost-estimation – Free cost estimation service for your plans. Check out also this list that includes a lot more awesome terraform tools.

Could be relatively simple, just filter out everything that you don't need. Possibly as a separate cli tool for transparency. For example, Terraform Cost Estimation by Anton Babenko uses a jq script to do this.

Let me plug-in a couple more 100% free solutions for cost estimation I have been creating in the open-source: 1. terraform-cost-estimation.com - web-service which accepts terraform plan or terraform state. 2. https://github.com/antonbabenko/terraform-cost-estimation - Anonymized, secure, and free Terraform Cost Estimation tool using cost.modules.tf service. There are instructions on how to integrate this in CI/CD pipeline or with OPA, as well as explaining what does make it really anonymized. 3. Weekly Youtube videos of me developing/hacking Terraform AWS pricing module - part1, part2, part3.

Terratest is a Go library that provides tools and patterns for testing infrastructure, with first-class support for Terraform, Packer, Docker, Kubernetes, and more. It's used to write automated tests for your infrastructure code.

I think I found it. This is the one right? https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terratest/

What it does in parallel is basically init/plan/show using terratest on every subdirectory on your repository tree or provided paths. The output is either a JSON summary or a custom made Junit XML test file you can ingest into your tests reader. It took it around 8 minutes to map the entirety of our bloated repository.

You could deploy to a separate account (usually dev first), you can use terratest, you could try something like LocalStack. I dare say there’s other methods.

Was wondering if anyone has tried https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terratest to test their infrastructure. I like it because I can write golang tests! Thats a big plus for me.

Once there is a CI pipeline for delivering infra changes you can add static code analysis tools (checkov) and even start testing changes (terratest)

Another plus is to add tests into your workflow, just by adding a run step with terratest
