terraform-cost-estimation VS tfenv

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.

You'll need the correct version of Terraform (the version of Terraform used for apply can be found in terraform_version at the beginning of the .tfstate file), to switch between versions I recommend tfenv.

For almost four years I'd been using a Macbook as my main work machine. One quality of life tool I'd gotten used to was tfenv, a lovely little tool for managing terraform versions & quickly switching between them.

For example terraform state files often have non backwards compatible changes. You should consider using something like tfenv so everyone on your team has identical versions of terraform.

I'm using the tool tfenv to manage Terraform versions. Other tools can do that. You can use asdf, too. I saw that asdf can do more than manage Terraform versions.
