Abstract
A cost estimator system receives a plan, a configuration or proposed changes for a cloud-based infrastructure, and which include data representing one or more computing resources needed for a cloud-based application. A new configuration is generated for the cloud-based infrastructure incorporating the plan, configuration or proposed changes. A price resolver resolves a price of the resources that are part of the new configuration, and requests, from one or more cloud providers associated with the new configuration, price data for the resolved resources. The cost estimator system then generates, based on the price data received by the price resolver, a cost estimate for the new configuration of the cloud-based infrastructure.
