Visualize infrastructure spending before you build with the Cloud Accelerator and Lucidchart. This tutorial demonstrates how to export AWS models from Lucidscale to Lucidchart to access advanced cost modeling features. Learn to apply custom discounts, use formulas for real-time budget tracking, and build dynamic headers that alert you when costs exceed your limits. By combining architectural diagrams with live AWS pricing data, your team can gain total visibility into potential future state cloud expenditures.
