How to manage enterprise pricing discounts with your AI

Connect Infracost to your AI client to sync negotiated cloud rates with your cost estimates. Once connected, your agent uses your specific pricing data to run accurate projections.

Short answer

How do I apply negotiated AWS or Azure discounts to my cost estimates?

You upload your negotiated pricing files to Infracost, and your AI uses those files to adjust all future infrastructure cost estimates. This ensures your projections reflect your actual enterprise rates rather than standard public pricing. You'll see the breakdown of how this works below.

The outcomes.

Where your pricing data lands.

The AI handles the data ingestion so your cost estimates stay accurate.

DATA

Custom price books

The AI ingests your negotiated rate files. This replaces standard cloud pricing with your specific enterprise discounts.

SYNC

Updated estimates

Your agent applies these rates to every Infracost run. You get cost forecasts that actually match your budget.

AUDIT

Price book management

The AI manages the files and URLs for your price books. You can check which rates are currently active in your organization.

HUMAN

Rate negotiations

The AI cannot negotiate with AWS or Azure. You still need to handle the actual contract discussions and obtain the final pricing files.

The workflow

What your AI does when the pricing data arrives.

The AI bridges the gap between your cloud contracts and your cost forecasting tools.

  1. Create price books

    Your agent sets up a new price book structure to hold your negotiated AWS or Azure rates.

    create_price_book

  2. Upload pricing files

    The AI ingests your specific discount files so the pricing data is ready for use.

    ingest_price_book

  3. Verify file locations

    Your agent can retrieve the URLs for your uploaded price book files to ensure they are accessible.

    get_price_book_files_url

  4. Update organization settings

    The AI applies these pricing changes to your organization so all subsequent estimates use the new rates.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI negotiate better rates with AWS for me?

    No. The AI only applies the pricing files you provide to your cost estimates.

  • 02

    Will this change my actual AWS bill?

    No. This only changes the cost estimates generated by Infracost. It does not affect your real-world cloud billing.

  • 03

    How do I add a new discount file?

    You can ask your agent to ingest a new price book file once the connection is live.

  • 04
