Infracost has announced a new integration with Open Policy Agent (OPA), HashiCorp Sentinel, and Conftest, allowing DevOps teams to establish cost policies before deploying resources. This integration provides guardrails for infrastructure costs by enabling policies such as requiring team lead approval if Terraform changes increase costs by more than 15%, instance costs rise over $2/hour, or if IOPS costs exceed those of the instances. This feature enhances developer workflows by enabling self-service infrastructure within budgetary constraints and addresses the challenge of making informed service choices without cost visibility. Many companies have relied on retrospective alerts and reports for cost management, but Infracost offers a proactive solution within the Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) process, catching costly components during code reviews. The integration is quickly implementable and available in partner products like Env0, SpaceLift, and Scalr.
