env0, a provider of automated, collaborative remote-run workflow
management for cloud deployments, today announced the ability to
estimate cloud automation costs in advance of Terraform, Terragrunt and
Infrastructure as Code deployments in AWS, Azure, GCP and other cloud
environments. With the launch of env0 Cost Estimation, DevOps engineers
are now able to receive an accurate representation of IaC automation
deployment expenses prior to orchestration.
There is an
ever-increasing number of cloud deployment automation projects across
industries whose delivery of mission-critical Web-based services can be
constrained by certain factors, including cost, security and compliance.
As one of the top IaC automation constraints, costs are often the
determining factor in deployment viability. As a result, DevOps
administrators and engineers advocate for thorough cost estimating
processes as part of the cloud infrastructure planning phase of
deployments.
env0 Cost Estimation introduces several
capabilities, including cost estimation during deployment, which goes
beyond real-time cost monitoring to forecast how much each deployment
being planned will cost prior to execution. To enable the feature, the
software integrates Infracost open-source cloud estimation software to
notify DevOps engineers when changes are made to the IaC platform
(Terraform, Terragrid, etc.) and provides expected increases/decreases
based on orchestration parameters. When combined with env0’s
industry-first built-in actual cost capability, it provides a holistic
picture of budgetary requirements, both before and after deployments.
“Accurate cost estimation must receive high priority when it comes to defining the parameters of planned cloud initiatives,” said Ohad Maislish, env0 CEO. “Whether deploying across AWS, GCP or Azure, env0 Cost Estimation allows DevOps professionals to know in advance the costs of required cloud resources to complete mission critical projects at the highest levels of quality possible.”
The new Cost Estimation capability is available immediately to env0 customers.
