Overview
Cloudamize makes it easier to turn your migration assessment results into AWS cost estimates by integrating with the official AWS Pricing Calculator.
With this integration, you can use assessment data to create AWS cost estimates without manually rebuilding your infrastructure configuration. You can either generate a shareable AWS Pricing Calculator link or download an Excel file for bulk import.

-
Choose your preferred workflow: Use a pre-populated calculator link for quick review or an Excel export for bulk import.
-
