AWS Terraform Extension Pack

This is a collection of extensions that I've curated in this vscode extension pack to help you build, deploy and manage your Terraform modules.

[!TIP] Stop AWS bill surprises before they ship.

Most infrastructure changes look harmless until next month's AWS bill lands. CloudBurn analyzes the cost impact of your Terraform changes right in the GitHub pull request, so expensive mistakes get caught during code review, while a fix is still a one-line change.

💰 Set it up once, then never be surprised by AWS costs again

1. Install the free Terraform Plan PR Commenter GitHub Action in the repository where you build your AWS Terraform infrastructure
2. Then install the CloudBurn GitHub App on the same repository

From then on, every PR with infrastructure changes gets a comment with your Terraform plan analysis, and CloudBurn adds a cost report next to it:

• Monthly cost impact: whether this change raises or lowers your AWS bill, and by how much
• Per-resource breakdown: which resources drive the change, old versus new monthly cost
• Region-aware pricing: rates match the region your infrastructure actually deploys to

Cost review happens inside code review, so you optimize as you code, while the context is still fresh.

CloudBurn is free during beta. After launch, a free Community plan (1 repository, unlimited users) stays available.
