}Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Terraform integration take?
Integration takes about 5-10 minutes. Add DeepCost to your Terraform configuration, deploy the integration, and cost tracking will start automatically for all your resources.
What permissions does DeepCost need?
DeepCost requires read access to your infrastructure state and configurations. For automated optimization, optional write permissions enable resource rightsizing and automated scaling adjustments.
Is my infrastructure data secure?
Yes, all Terraform state and configuration data is encrypted in transit and at rest. DeepCost follows infrastructure-as-code security best practices and maintains SOC 2 compliance.
Can I use DeepCost with multiple environments?
Absolutely. DeepCost supports multiple Terraform workspaces, projects, and environments. Track costs separately for development, staging, and production from a unified dashboard.
How quickly will I see cost optimization recommendations?
DeepCost analyzes your infrastructure immediately after integration. Most customers see actionable recommendations within 24 hours, with typical savings of 30-50% achievable in the first month.
