Operations / Cost Explorer

Cost Explorer

Cost Explorer helps you understand the financial impact of your infrastructure before you deploy. Axio scans your Terraform stacks to provide cost estimates, savings opportunities, and anomaly detection.

Why cost analysis?

Cost analysis enables you to make informed decisions by showing the potential cost impact of changes before they are applied to your environment.

How it works

Axio estimates the cost of your infrastructure and highlights changes, savings, and potential issues.

1. Scan Stack

Axio scans your Terraform stack and its resources

2. Estimate Cost

We calculate the monthly and annual cost

3. Analyze Impact

Compare with the current baseline to find changes

4. Provide Insights

Identify savings opportunities and cost anomalies
