@readystack/cloud-cost-landmine-lint

Cloud Cost Landmine Lint for Terraform, CloudFormation and Kubernetes

Names every line in the file you have open that starts a recurring cloud charge, with the published us-east-1 price and the date it changes by itself.

Install

npx @readystack/cloud-cost-landmine-lint file

Node 18+. The same 27 rules as the VS Code extension, from a terminal or CI.

Free

• Checks the file you have open against all 27 rules and names every line that starts a standing charge, with its published us-east-1 unit price and the date it changes on its own - no key, no limit, no watermark.
• --rules lists every rule

With a licence ($29 once)

• Scans every file in the repository at once, exports the findings as CSV, JSON or HTML for a budget review, and prints machine output that exits non-zero so a pipeline can stop a merge that adds a standing charge.

@readystack/cloud-cost-landmine-lint --dir ./templates --report html --out report.html

Amazon's own published price for the same untouched cluster after the date passes: $0.60 per cluster-hour instead of $0.10, which is $365 more every month.
