Cost-Related Misconfigurations Findings

Hi there! 👋

I’m a master’s student researching **cost considerations in cloud infrastructure**. As part of this project, we ran a static analysis tool (linter) on your repository to identify cost-related misconfigurations.

We found **2 potential issues** across **1 file**, some of which might **significantly affect the cloud costs** of your project.

Are you interested in the **linter results**? Reply here. We’ll send **the report along with a short follow-up survey** (~5 min) to evaluate our tool and better understand cost considerations in open-source projects for our research. All data will be treated confidentially.

If you’re curious about our work, we are investigating how developers approach cost in cloud infrastructure, specifically Terraform and AWS CloudFormation. Our goal is to identify **patterns and anti-patterns** to help developers make **more cost-aware infrastructure decisions**. You can check out what we’ve discovered so far here: [https://search-rug.github.io/iac-cost-patterns/](https://search-rug.github.io/iac-cost-patterns/). If you have any questions or would like to discuss our research, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Thank you for your time and support! 🤗

The issue does not name a repository file, test, or entry point; it only requests a response to an external cost-analysis study. Start by reviewing the repository's Terraform or AWS infrastructure configuration if investigating the topic, but no repository change or definition of done is provided.
