Cost & Status¶

The Verda CLI provides tools to estimate costs before provisioning, monitor what your running resources cost, and check your account balance.

Cost Estimation¶

Estimate costs before creating¶

Get a cost estimate before provisioning resources:

verda cost estimate

This shows projected hourly and monthly costs based on the instance type and configuration you specify.

Check running costs¶

See what your currently running instances are costing:

verda cost running

This displays a breakdown of active resources and their hourly burn rate.

Check account balance¶

View your current account balance:

verda cost balance

Status Dashboard¶

Account overview¶

Get a quick overview of your entire account:

verda status

The status dashboard shows:

• Instance summary — total, running, offline, provisioning, error, and spot instance counts
• Volume summary — total volumes and aggregate storage size
• Financial overview — hourly and daily burn rate, account balance, and estimated runway in days
• Location breakdown — resource distribution across datacenters

This is useful as a daily check or when you need a quick snapshot of your infrastructure.

Output formats¶

All cost and status commands support JSON and YAML output for scripting:

verda status -o json
verda cost running -o yaml
