Hi team, Regarding to issue https://github.com/infracost/infracost/issues/421, I would like to know the usage file format of google_compute_address/google_compute_global_address because it’s not quite clear in the doc. I want to use just one type of the IP address, how can I specify it in usage file. The current output shows all the cases:

├─ IP address (if used by standard VM)                                                    730  hours                  $2.92 
 ├─ IP address (if used by preemptible VM)                                                 730  hours                  $1.46 
 └─ IP address (if unused)                                                                 730  hours                  $0.00

Hi @big-library-56813 - great question! In the reference usage-file we don’t have that resource as we didn’t think of that edge-case when defining that resource’s pricing. This is the schema that’s used to define that’s resource’s prices, we’d need to add a string address_type param, similar to something like this, so users can define that in the usage-file. Plz let us know if this is something you’d like to work on and the team’ll be happy to help

yes, that will help. We’d like to show the planned cost based on a certain situation to help the users get a basic understanding of their cost. Although the use case of IP address can change dynamically, it will be better considered in runtime cost.

Hey @big-library-56813! If Ail's proposed solution works for your case, are you willing to make the change for the resource? We have a section in our contributing guide how to do it: https://github.com/infracost/infracost/blob/master/contributing/add_new_resource_guide.md#add-usage-based-cost-components.

That’s awesome Vadim! I wonder if we should put the type in brackets: IP address (standard VM) or IP address (preemptible VM) or IP address (unused)

Sure thing, I'll update it 👍
