Infracost
Infracost is a FinOps governance platform that provides cloud cost estimates and automates policy enforcement for Infrastructure as Code.
Infracost provides FinOps governance for platform teams, engineers, and FinOps practitioners to prevent cloud waste and budget overruns. It integrates directly into Infrastructure as Code (IaC) workflows, including CI/CD pipelines and IDEs, to provide cost estimates before deployment. The platform supports Terraform, CloudFormation, and CDK, covering AWS, Azure, and GCP services. It utilizes AI to identify cloud waste, while offering automated workflows and cost guardrails to ensure projects remain within budget. Users receive visibility into cloud spending through dashboards, allowing for data-driven decisions that align with the Well Architected Frameworks.
