What is AWS Price CSV Generator?
The AWS Price CSV skill is a specialized utility designed to bridge the gap between architectural planning and financial forecasting. By leveraging Openclaw Skills, this tool processes structured service lists—containing EC2 instances, S3 storage, or EBS volumes—and produces a detailed cost breakdown in CSV format. It is particularly useful for teams that need to generate quotes or budget estimates without manually navigating the AWS Pricing Calculator.
This skill provides the flexibility to source data directly from the AWS Price List API for real-time accuracy or via cached bulk JSON files for high-speed, offline processing. By integrating this into your workflow, you can ensure that every proposed infrastructure change is accompanied by a transparent and accurate cost analysis, all managed through the extensible framework of Openclaw Skills.
AWS Price CSV Generator Use Cases
- Creating professional cost estimates for client proposals or internal stakeholders.
- Auditing infrastructure costs by comparing On-Demand rates against Reserved Instance savings.
- Generating pricing reports in restricted environments where live IAM access is limited by using bulk mode.
- Automating the conversion of technical YAML resource lists into financial CSV summaries.
How AWS Price CSV Generator Works
- The user prepares an input file in YAML or JSON format defining the AWS services, regions, and usage quantities.
- The skill parses the input and determines the appropriate data source: either the live AWS Price List API or local bulk JSON files.
- It applies specific filters—such as instanceType, operatingSystem, and termType—to identify the exact price point for each line item.
- The engine calculates the total cost by multiplying the quantity by the price per unit, accounting for different usage units like hours or GB-Mo.
- It compiles the data into a CSV file with detailed columns and a final total row for immediate delivery.
AWS Price CSV Generator Setup
To get started with this skill, ensure you have the AWS CLI and PyYAML installed. For API-based lookups, your environment must be authenticated with AWS.
# Install required Python dependencies
pip install pyyaml
# Run the pricing generator using bulk data for speed
python3 scripts/generate_pricing_csv.py \
--input inputs/sample.yml \
--region us-east-1 \
--source bulk \
--output aws_estimate.csv
AWS Price CSV Generator Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes pricing data into a structured CSV format. The following table describes the primary columns generated:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
item_name |
User-defined label for the resource. |
service_code |
The official AWS service identifier (e.g., AmazonEC2). |
term_type |
Pricing model used: On-Demand or Reserved. |
price_per_unit_usd |
The base rate retrieved from the AWS Pricing data. |
cost_usd |
The total calculated cost (Quantity x Price). |
TOTAL |
A summary row at the end of the file aggregating all costs. |
AWS Price CSV Generator Advanced Features
- Dual Sourcing Logic: Seamlessly switch between the AWS Pricing API and local bulk JSON caches to balance speed and data freshness.
- Automated Cache Management: Includes built-in logic to refresh cached pricing data every 30 days, ensuring Openclaw Skills remain accurate over time.
- Support for Reserved Terms: Fine-tune estimates by specifying LeaseContractLength, PurchaseOption, and OfferingClass for Reserved Instances.
- Custom Bulk File Overrides: Manually provide specific service JSON files to bypass the standard cache for bespoke pricing analysis.
