My name is Ben Schaechter and I’m co-founder and CEO of Vantage. Previously, I worked at AWS and DigitalOcean.<p>Today we’re launching automated cost reporting via Terraform.<p>As primer, Vantage is a cloud cost management platform that allows you to create dashboards and reports for members in your organization based upon certain infrastructure primitives. For example, you may want to create a cost report for certain AWS member accounts with specific cost allocation tags. This is usually a pretty manual process for configuring and clicking in our console to create a corresponding report.<p>We’ve increasingly heard that developers want to automatically manage these dashboards and the creation of cost reports via Terraform. Our Terraform provider now allows this to happen with a few different resources we’ve exposed including filters, cost reports and dashboards. This means you can express your FinOps/cloud cost dashboards as infrastructure as code and run `terraform apply` to automate the creation of cost reporting, alongside deploying your infrastructure.<p>All of this is just the beginning of what we are calling “FinOps as Code” which is a world where you can apply more automation to cloud billing. Soon we will expand this to other primitives on Vantage to things like setting budgets and alerts.<p>To check out this first iteration, you can create an API key here: <a href="https://console.vantage.sh/signup" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://console.vantage.sh/signup</a> and review our documentation here: <a href="https://docs.vantage.sh/terraform" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.vantage.sh/terraform</a>
