Abstract

Vscode Infracost is an open-source Blockchain & Cloud Computing project. See cost estimates for Terraform right in your editor💰📉. Infracost's VS Code extension shows you cost estimates for Terraform right in your editor! It also surfaces FinOps policies and tagging issues so you can catch problems before they reach production. It is built using TypeScript, AWS. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the Apache License 2.0, making it a useful reference for students building a Blockchain & Cloud Computing mini project or final-year project.
