Code Smarter, Spend Wiser: Infracost & Open Tofu Unleashed
Talkat OpenTofu Day Europe 2024 · on Tuesday, 2024-03-19· at 10:25· Pavilion 7 | Level 7.3 | Room E05 - E06·
summary
Open TOFU serves as a drop‑in replacement for Terraform v1.6 maintained under the Linux Foundation; Infracost provides 3M+ priced resources via CLI, API or cloud subscription. The demo builds a container GitHub Action that walks service directories, runs open‑tofu init/workspace/plan and posts Infracost breakdowns into PRs, giving pre‑merge cost diffs. Migration requires all plans applied first. Known limits: the Infracost template targets one IaC repo and doesn't price spot/egress/dynamic autoscaling or unsupported providers.
