what happens when the cloud vendor update their pricing strats?

Hey, yes we support azure, GCP and AWS. We continually keep up to date with vendors' pricing. You can check out our aggregate cloud pricing graphql API for more info (https://github.com/infracost/cloud-pricing-api/)

We actually have limited Cloudformation support in the Infracost CLI at this very moment in time. That being said we haven't been actively expanding support for it. We're a small team, and our core focus is on Terraform users and making their experience top-notch. However, we have a very lively community and always welcome contributions. Community members are building the Pulumi integration at the moment.

#18Cool tech, though I am personally sad that this is even a problem that needs solving. The fact that there's no price transparency, seemingly by design, in cloud products is :(

When I started looking at cloud pricing in 2009 there were ~10K price points, today there are more than 3M. The cloud vendors focus on moving fast and continually release new services but there is more they could be doing to make it easy for engineers to understand the costs. Infra-as-code added another layer of complexity as now engineers have no idea what we're about to buy on AWS when we run "terraform apply" or similar checkout commands in other tools. All software has a cost, it's just not visible until it's too late - that's what we want to change.

Are you concerned that there's no price transparency or that pricing isn't predictable? If so, I guess I'm curious how you define price transparency, since pricing in the cloud isn't opaque in the same way it is in medicine.
