Description
The cost estimator skill estimates monthly costs but offers no optimization recommendations or budget thresholds. The manifesto emphasizes cost as a compliance dimension enforced across generation, plan, and deploy phases.
Scope
- Budget thresholds — Configurable monthly budget in
.azure/git-ape.yml. Deployments exceeding the budget require explicit override.
- Cost optimization recommendations — After estimation, suggest reserved instances, right-sizing, savings plans.
- Azure Cost Management integration — Query Azure Advisor for cost optimization recommendations on deployed resources.
- Cost trend tracking — Track cost estimates across deployments over time in
state.json.
- PR cost comparison — When a template changes, show cost delta in the plan PR comment.
