Syntax for Updating Cost Information
You can use the composition service to update and display cost information for a deployment. The cost of a
deployment is based on which blueprint you request plus details of the specic request. For example, if the
blueprint allows for a range of CPU, memory, or storage values, the cost depends on the value requested.
Input
