A System and Method for Calculating Estimated Price of any Cloud Provisioning Template

Abstract

Today limited system and methods are available to calculate estimated price of cloud provisioning template in cloud provider agnostic approach. This paper is illustrating the conceptual methods of calculating the estimated price of any type of cloud provisioning template. The template can be any native cloud template like Amazon Web Service (AWS) cloud formation(CF), Azure Resource Manager (ARM) or any Third-Party Cloud Provisioning Template Provider like Terraform etc. The proposed system also provides an adaptive extensible framework to integrate with any arbitrary cloud providers and templating technologies.
