I am trying to register my Github organization into Infracost Cloud but I never received the approval token. Do you know where should I get this token? thanks in advance

We use an internally hosted gitlab instance, and are trying out the Gitlab app integrations. I am struggling to convert the current CI/CD work flow for Infracost, using docker image and terraform plan to the gitlab infracost app. Our CI/CD is built on an automated continuous deployment. We have review branches and main/master branches, production is deployed from a git tag on the main/master branch. Any change, human or bot (bots run every 6 hours to look for patches and updates) creates a merge request and review branch, branch names control the CI/CD jobs that run as defined in the gitlab-ci.yaml. A review branch kicks off a review pipeline, where all CI/CD security and QA checks are done, this is where we have located infracost, sit well with the guardrails, and cost checking and now the new tags checking. Assuming the CI/CD pipeline passed, any bot created merge request are automatically merged with the main/master branch and the merge request automatically closed (unless a gitlab project is set up to require a human merge review) as merge request are relative short lived we copy the merge request comments to the gitlab wiki as well to keep a easley viable record of the last pipeline run. Human created merge requests are merged, when the pipeline passes and any changes tested, but the same workflow happens once merged. When the merge is done, it starts a main/master branch CI/CD pipeline, it will run with minimal jobs mostly those required by Gitalb to add security checks and reports to the Gitlab dash boards. It also runs a semantic release job which does a semantic git tag on the repo. The semantic git tag starts a CI/CD pipeline for the tagged release to production. In this workflow we only have one merge request, the terraform code is written so that CI jobs can run on review or production variables are controlled by variables in the gitlab-ci.yaml file.

Is it possible to overlay the infracost external app job with stages and Gitlab environment variables ? How would we set this up using the infracost config file ? Can we create an infracost config yaml template and generate an infracost yaml config on the fly for each repo using variables from the gitlab-ci yaml file. Once the app has written to the merge request we can extract the notes via api call and write them to the wiki.

Hello, I have self-hosted the cloud-pricing-API, we have a bot written in Go which basically is responsible for the tf plan and apply. So I was looking to invoke the API from there. I am only able to find CLI integration for it in Docs. Is there a way we can use the infracost go library and use the self-hosted api-key which is different from using through cli.

Hello, I use inracost in my ci/cd in gitlab and when I watch my dashboard, I can see two warnings like:

No such file or directory output.json Try adding a config-file to configure how Infracost should run. See <https://infracost.io/config-file> for details and examples.

and

Diff baseline error: No such file or directory output.json Try adding a config-file to configure how Infracost should run. See <https://infracost.io/config-file> for details and examples.

and I can see

Monthly cost will not change

. I tried to make a config-file but it seems to not work. Do you have a basic config-file to add to my repo?

Hello Infracost, We have spiked to use Infracost cli to give some cost around our terraform resources, have couple of queries in 🧵

hey all - what is the best way to deal with autoscaling calculations? there is, of course, a big difference in cost between running 1 t3.xlarge instance and running 10 of them. Specifying a value for the “MaxSize” setting in the

aws:autoscaling:asg

namespace doesn’t seem to help:

{
      namespace = "aws:autoscaling:asg",
      name      = "MaxSize",
      value     = var.autoscaling_max_size,
      resource  = ""
    },

Humble Greetings Infracost.... I need help with errors encountered when setting up a Github App... sharing 🧵

hey infracost! I’m not quite sure how to connect my Github App to my infracost cloud account as I’m using it for a Terragrunt project. I do indeed have project and a root level terragrunt.hcl that looks like it should be picking it up fine. I’ve followed all the steps and tried quite a few config files with no luck. anyone else gotten stuck here? I thought it would be able to auto detect the terragrunt.hcl files without any issue 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hello Infracost team! 👋 I am trying to use

config

feature to get a single comment for different environments of the same terraform folder (feeding different .tfvar files) on CircleCI. I followed docs https://www.infracost.io/docs/features/config_file/ and https://github.com/infracost/infracost-circleci and have somewhat working comment posted in PR. But this comment consists of duplicate pairs of my “projects”. I suspect this is because my baseline “project” has different path where it was estimated? Would appreciate any advise on how to make this look properly, i.e merged and get a proper diff? Thanks in advance 🤝

Greetings Infracost... I am getting the error (🧵 ) when running

infracost diff --path=. --format=json --compare-to=infracost-base.json --out-file=infracost.json

where

infracost-base.json

is from

production/base

branch and

infracost.json

is from the

branch.

Hi all! I have a questions regarding the max context iterations limit (https://github.com/infracost/infracost/blob/3d1d555e07082add91d6dd27425a9863a626038c/internal/hcl/evaluator.go#L64). Is there a particular reason for this value of 120? If I were to adjust this to say…360, would it create a rift in the universe?

Hello Team, I have setup a locally hosted Infracost API running in docker, and I have successfully updated the database. With this local api I have been able to use the CLI and get a price breakdown 14 since 8/22/2023 (14 from CLI users, 0 from CI/CD systems) I am still working on fine tuning the output but so far things look great from a baseline. My question is this: Can we use this locally hosted API and price data in Terraform Enterprise? Due to security reasons I cannot use the Infracost Cloud offering integrations using Terraform Run Tasks integration.

Can anyone direct me where to add an SSH key to my GitHub setup. The wizard thought I did not have any private git modules (which is wrong) and now I can't for the life of me figure out how to edit the config to upload a private key.

Hi all! I'm not sure if this is an Infracost problem if I'm honest, but I've come up against a problem trying to run it in GoCD on AWS ECS agents - it's just terribly slow, taking >1hr just to run a breakdown! It's running multiple Terragrunt directories that have multiple dependencies, so I'm expecting some slowness... But if I run it through Github Actions it's so much quicker, (~1min for the same breakdown command) and on my local (~10mins). I'm trying to figure out where these time differences are coming from, originally I thought it was a resource issue since all machines are using the same CLI but I've tried using bigger instances for GoCD to run the job, to no avail. I'm wondering if anyone else has come against this?

Hello all! I'm trying to use the Infracost Terraform module to enable Actual Costs. The issue I'm having is that when I create the resources for my environment, they are being created using my default provider which is in

us-east-2

and not the provider I created for the Infracost module. It seems that the provider variable for the module isn't working properly. I'm following this documentation: https://github.com/infracost/cross-account-link/blob/master/README.md and here is my code:

# Do not change this, this is the only region that the AWS CUR API supports, this should not matter for
# you as your bucket can live in another region (described above).
provider "aws" {
  alias  = "us_east_1"
  region = "us-east-1"
}

module "infracost" {
  source = "<http://github.com/infracost/cross-account-link|github.com/infracost/cross-account-link>"
  infracost_external_id = "INFRACOST_ORGANIZATION_ID"
  # add a provider for region `us-east-1` and pass this in using aws.us_east_1 alias.
  providers = {
    aws.us_east_1 = aws.us_east_1
  }
}

output "infracost_cross_account_role_arn" {
  value = module.infracost.role_arn
}

output "infracost_cur_bucket_arn" {
  value = module.infracost.bucket_arn
}

But these are the outputs I'm getting from Terraform (I've replaced the account number with XXX):

Terraform will perform the following actions:

  # module.infracost.aws_cur_report_definition.costand_usage_report will be created
  + resource "aws_cur_report_definition" "costand_usage_report" {
      + additional_schema_elements = [
          + "RESOURCES",
        ]

      + s3_region                  = "us-east-2"
      + time_unit                  = "DAILY"
    }

  # module.infracost.aws_s3_bucket_notification.sns_topic will be created
  + resource "aws_s3_bucket_notification" "sns_topic" {
      + bucket      = "infracost-cur-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
      + eventbridge = false
      + id          = (known after apply)

      + topic {
          + events        = [
              + "s3:ObjectCreated:*",
            ]
          + filter_suffix = "Manifest.json"
          + id            = (known after apply)
          + topic_arn     = "arn:aws:sns:us-east-2:XXXXXXXXXXX:cur-uploaded"
        }
    }

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Hi all - does anyone know why infracost is ignoring my currency settings?: .config\infracost\configuration.yml

version: "0.1"
currency: "GBP"

always returns USD

hi all, can i ask you if Infracost is supporting spot pricing calculation for Azure ? i tried with a slightly modified code from your repo to calculate the infra costs for Azure spot's but the response is for on-demand flavors Thank you in advance !

resource "azurerm_linux_virtual_machine" "my_vm" {
  name                  = "basic_a2"
  resource_group_name   = "fake_resource_group"
  location              = "eastus"

  size                  = "Standard_D2as_v4"
  admin_username        = "fakeuser"
  admin_password        = "fakepass"

  priority              = "Spot"
  eviction_policy       = "Deallocate"

output :

"costComponents":[
                      {
                         "name":"Instance usage (Linux, pay as you go, Standard_D2as_v4)",
                         "unit":"hours",
                         "hourlyQuantity":"1",

                         "hourlyCost":"0.096",
                         "monthlyCost":"70.08"
                      }

hey folks, hopefully simple question. Does the Infracost graphQL API

attributeFilters

property map back to Terraform resource properties? or is there some magic/translation in the CLI that looks up the Terraform properties from the API?

Hi everyone. Does

infracost comment

for Azure DevOps integration supports the slack message format in some way? The issue I'm facing is: • Azure DevOps has a webhook to a slack channel and all PR comments are posted to a slack channel. • Problem: The comment posted in Azure DevOps is in table format. Slack does not support the table format, which shows the example output. For example:

Comment:
[//]: <> 
<> Infracost estimate: <b>monthly cost will increase by $1</b></p>
<table>
<thead>
  <td>Project</td>
  <td>Cost change</td>
  <td>New monthly cost</td>
</thead>
...

Is there a way I can still leverage

infracost comment az-repo

and post a comment with slack-message format?

hello all, I have just created an account but seem to not be getting the account activation e-mail.. 😕

trying to make sure i’m not misunderstanding the usage file, but is there currently a way to model network traffic costs between google compute instances? The reference table is here: https://cloud.google.com/vpc/network-pricing#vpc-pricing, under the headings of

VM-VM egress

,

VM-Google Service

, and

Internet Egress

.

Hi, All ! Need help, ∙ 1 is not supported yet, see https://infracost.io/requested-resources: ∙ 1 x aws_kinesis_stream

Hello! I'm still getting the default page on my dashboard, but a coworker with proper permissions on GitHub installed the app in one of our repositories. There is something like a sync time or some option to send data back to infracost cloud? I made a PR and the function is working, but I would like to send the data back to the infracost cloud.

Hi team, @any way to calculate the cost of the deleted gcp resources using infracost

When selecting a resource or project in the wildcard section of tagging policy's can you do a negative. We have on project with one resource that we wish to exclude labels from. (We still investigation why this resource comaplians about the labels set).

hey! i have a branch that has capital letters in it, but it seems like infracost automatically lowercases the branch name. As a result, it looks like the git clone fails 😞 who should i reach out to for this?

Dear support, We in process of testing/POC this app (infracost). We need help to get it to work in our environment (self-hosted). We use your docker-compose as baseline: https://github.com/infracost/cloud-pricing-api/blob/master/docker-compose.yml but per InfoSec mandate, we can’t use the images as is.. we have to modify it: use our own base image (vetted by IS team) and build the packages on top.. we successfully built the API-server image, but we have problems with the postgres.. I myself new in writing dockerfile, and need help/guidance. our requirements: 1. The base image must be “amazon linux”, doesn’t matter which version.. (we plan to deploy this app on AWS-ECS) 2. Download all the necessary postgres packages and dependencies 3. do integrity checking of the downloaded packages (optional) 4. Configure them and have the postgres up/listening questions (before we spend too much time/effort troubleshooting): 1. can postgres run on amazonlinux? we assume it should 2. can infracost run on newer postgres, i.e v15 ? instead of v13 Lets start with this. Thank you, Indra

I have a question. i am trying to use the free subscription for infracost, is slack part of the free features?
