Custom price books

The Infracost CLI uses public prices by default. Infracost Cloud users can apply enterprise discounts and custom price books to customize their prices.

Enterprise discounts​

Many organizations that have significant cloud spend get enterprise discounts from cloud vendors such as:

  • AWS Enterprise Discount Program (EDP)
  • Azure Prepayment, also known as Azure Monetary Commitment. These are part of Azure Enterprise Agreements
  • Google Commitment Agreement

You can apply these discounts in Infracost Cloud:

  1. Go to Infracost Cloud to sign up or log in.
  2. Switch to the desired organization and go to Org Settings > Custom price books page.
  3. Define the percentage discounts that should be applied for AWS, Azure and Google and click Save:Infracost Cloud supports custom price books

How it works​

  • All new cost estimates (CLI outputs, pull requests and Infracost Cloud estimates) for your organization will apply the discount going forward.
  • Older cost estimates will not be changed. There is currently no way to distinguish between the older cost estimates and ones that have a discount.
  • The discount will also be applied to usage-based resources such as AWS Lambda or S3 prices, even if there is no usage file.

Custom price books​

We can also apply SKU-level custom cloud pricing to your Infracost Cloud organization. Please contact us to set this up. We would need details of the services or SKUs that you'd like to customize.

Reserved Instances and Savings Plans​

For cost estimation purposes, engineers often prefer a simple price point that they can use in their calculations and when making design decisions. Reserved Instances and Savings Plans complicate this due to the dynamic nature of their discounts, which is applied after resources are launched.

Therefore, to simplify cost estimation for engineers, some companies prefer to use "blended rate" of resources, which combines on-demand and discounted prices into one price point. The blended rate is shown in cloud vendor Cost and Usage Reports (e.g. AWS CUR) and we can import them into your Infracost Cloud organization so they can be used instead of on-demand prices. Please contact us to setup a way for you to provide these to us.
