(cli): Stack cost estimator #17437

Open dontirun opened 2 years ago

dontirun commented 2 years ago

Description

Add the ability to analyze a synthesized CloudFormation template in the AWS Pricing Calculator

Use Case

There are many tradeoffs to make when developing an application. Having the ability to analyze the potential cost of a solution prior to deployment can help with determining cost related tradeoffs. This can especially be helpful when using community constructs or higher level constructs that may deploy resources that the user isn't aware of.

Proposed Solution

  1. User runs cdk synth --cost
  2. The cdk synthesizes the template and calls the the CloudFormation EstimateTemplateCost Api
  3. The CLI outputs the Pricing Calculator URL returned by the API

I don't mind this feature, but I want it with a huge disclaimer that we are not calculating this price ourselves and any complaints about it should be directed to CloudFormation (preferably with a link).

I don't want this to become a support sink.
