Overview

Infracost is a cost estimation tool for infrastructure as code platforms. Scalr integrates with the Infracost cloud pricing server to provide estimated costs after analyzing the Terraform or OpenTofu plans.

The estimated cost is included in the tfrun input that is sent to the Open Policy Agent integration allowing teams to create policies to review estimated cost.

  "tfrun": {
    "cost_estimate": {

      "proposed_monthly_cost": 5.034,
      "delta_monthly_cost": 5.034
    }
  }
}
