# Cloud Cost Handbook
This is the repository backing the site hosted at [handbook.vantage.sh](http://handbook.vantage.sh/).
The Cloud Cost Handbook is a free open-source community-supported set of guides meant to help explain the complex pricing of public cloud infrastructure and service providers in "plain English." This guide is open for anyone to contribute their knowledge to the community. [Vantage](http://vantage.sh/) employees will maintain hosting the guide for everyone and ensure that content is relevant and adheres to style guides.
The Cloud Cost Handbook is organized into two sections: general concepts and per-service pages.
- **General concepts** are meant to cover topics that apply across multiple different infrastructure services.
- **Per-service pages** are meant to give a brief summary of the service, the pricing dimensions of the service, and optionally, a list of cost concepts as it relates to that service.
## Contributing Guidelines
Issues and pull requests (PRs) are welcome for requesting or contributing content. Vantage employees will review all issues and PRs to ensure we're keeping content relevant and up to standard.
