Prices
Estimated monthly on-demand costs for this workload architecture.
Workload Costs Comparison
Prices by provider and services that enable users to run this workload. Shape the architecture based on cloud best practices using the four Architecture Priorities below — Capacity, Performance, Reliability, and Security. Components and prices recompute as you adjust each priority (e.g. higher Security adds a WAF, KMS, and threat monitoring), and you can switch region or billing period to compare like-for-like.
How each price was matched
CloseMeets the requirement but over-provisioned — the smallest SKU this provider sells above the requested size is materially larger.ApproximateFalls short on vCPU or memory. The price is real but it buys less than the architecture asks for.No comparable SKUNothing in this provider's catalog is close enough to compare fairly. Excluded from the total — the column is not a like-for-like alternative for that line.Not offeredThe provider does not sell a product in this category at all.
Unbadged prices are exact matches. Hover any badge for the specific reason. Totals cover only the components a provider actually matched — the “N of M tracked” note under a total says how many.

| 18 | # 1. Save this file as main.tf |
| 19 | # 2. Set provider authentication credentials: |
| 20 | # |
| 21 | # For AWS Local CLI Execution: |
| 22 | # export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="<YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID>" |
| 23 | # export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="<YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>" |
| 24 | # export AWS_REGION="<REGION>" |
| 25 | # |
| 26 | # For AWS DevOps CI/CD Pipeline (GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Azure DevOps): |
| 27 | # Recommended: Use AWS OpenID Connect (OIDC) Role Assumption: |
| 28 | # - role-to-assume: "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/GitHubActionsDeployerRole" |
| 29 | # - aws-region: "<REGION>" |
