AFAIR, one resource (e.g. S3 bucket managed by pulumi) existing within a stack for an hour costs you 1 credit.

that’s why for 150k credits you can have:

150.000 credits / 30 (days) / 24 (hours within a day) ~ 208 resources

If you’re total sum of resources across all stacks is < 208 (and they don’t change over time or at least that’s the average), you’re gonna use all 150k free credits.

• I do a new k8 deployment and 8k more credits are used.

That part confused me and that’s why I gave you such a long answer. You’re missing the time factor here (deployment can cost you 8k credits over some time). Assuming you meant the whole month (720h), that k8s deployment must have on average ~11 resources declared.

In other words, if you’re gonna create 11 resources and destroy them after 1h -> 11 credits.

The Quantity of credits used from the last bill (free tier/trial): 8,984

I'm doing continual deployment so my stack gets replaced multiple times a day (or at least some of the resources do).

I also have Azure Keyvault vars and other azure devops stuff I want to migrate from Terraform to pulumi because of the great inbuilt stack encryption offered.

So can you give me an idea of what this would look like say: • I maxed my account at 150k. • Now next month I do a new deployment of 11 resources for kubernetes. Would this be:

( 0.00025 * 720) * 11

to results in

$2

for the new stack then? I'm multitasking so if I'm mixing things up please forgive 🙂

@prehistoric-activity-61023 do you think I could get a follow-up on my team account via email if slack doesn't work. I need to figure this out as we adopt it more and I'm confused a little. Let's say I create a new stack and leave it running all month, maybe replace stuff but same count. Is that

( 0.00025 * 720) * 11

and $1.98 a month or am I getting this calc wrong. Been swamped so sorry if the question is repetitive. I can jump on a call next week to chat if it's easier.
