Cloud cost-control standards — cost estimation gates for Terraform changes (Infracost), NAT and data-transfer costs, orphaned resources, Kubernetes right-sizing, storage and log-ingestion costs (including Azure Log Analytics), and non-production savings. Use whenever a change adds or resizes cloud resources, when designing networking that affects data transfer, when reviewing monitoring/logging volume, or when the user asks why the bill is high or how to cut costs.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# FinOps & cost control standards <!-- devops-ai-kit · Last reviewed: 2026-10-28 --> ## 1. Estimate before you create - **SHOULD** Terraform changes that affect cost: run `infracost diff` and put the number (monthly increase / decrease) in the plan. - **CONTEXT** Automatic blocking thresholds in CI (for example, an increase > 200 USD/month needs Lead / Finance approval and no auto-merge) follow the organization's policy. - **SHOULD** Costs that are hard to see must be estimated in words if the tool cannot calculate them: data transfer, log ingestion, object storage requests, number of snapshots. ## 2. Network & data transfer - **SHOULD** Non-prod: one shared NAT Gateway (or a NAT instance) instead of one per AZ. - **SHOULD** For large data volumes, prefer keeping internal traffic in the same zone (topology-aware routing) to avoid cross-AZ fees. - **SHOULD** AWS: use Gateway Endpoints for S3 / DynamoDB (free) instead of going through NAT. - **SHOULD** Use cross-region backup / replication only when the RPO / RTO really needs it; write the cost in the ADR. ## 3. Logs & metrics (often a surprise cost) …

How to install
mdr add hoangminhung/devops-ai-kit/finops@sha256:1f1976a9aeec67cfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.645512f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
