Technical requirements

In this chapter, we are going to mix non-technical information, such as an introduction to the TCO and its concepts, with more technical information, such as how to use pricing APIs from different cloud providers.

Nevertheless, the technical information covered here should be easily understandable as we are not going to dig deep into such technical aspects.
