Show costs for VPC groups in Cloud Diagrams
Description:
Allow users to see the total aggregated cost of all resources within a VPC directly in the Costs tab of Cloud Diagrams.
Requested Features:
Show total cost per VPC
Provide a breakdown by service type (e.g., EC2, RDS, ELB), similar to what’s shown in the Summary tab
Let users drill down from VPC to individual high-cost resources
Use Case:
Helps users understand which VPCs are driving costs across environments or teams and supports more effective budgeting and resource planning.
Impact:
Improves cost transparency and makes it easier for FinOps and platform teams to monitor spending at the network level.

Hi Team,
when selecting a VPC and asking for its costs, usually it returns nothing (because VPCs are free). However customers looking for "VPC Costs" are looking for the cost of all the resources deployed in the VPC, which we have under Items.
Would it be possible to display the costs of such items in the UI? It would be a great quality of life feature and also respect the customer intention (while we know it's not technically accurate).
thank you!
Luca
