The method involves identifying software tools associated with the cloud resource and, retrieving and aggregating programming data of the software tools. The method involves provides extracting metadata from a master dataset and parsing the metadata by a natural language model. Thereupon, by using a pricing calculator of the cloud resource a price report is generated. The price report can then be used for cost estimation, financial planning and raising alerts. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for estimating cost of utilizing a cloud resource, comprising: identifying one or more software tool associated with the cloud resource, wherein the one or more software tool comprises programming data; retrieving the programming data of each of the one or more software tool; aggregating the programming data of each of the one or more software tool into a master dataset; extracting metadata from the master dataset, wherein the metadata comprises one or more fields relevant to utilizing the cloud resource; parsing the metadata, by a natural language model, to obtain one or more query parameter; and inputting the metadata and each of the one or more query parameter into a pricing calculator of the cloud resource to generate a price report, wherein the price report is utilized to estimate the cost of utilizing the cloud resource. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: retrieving an existing cost of utilizing the cloud resource, wherein the existing cost is based on a historical utilization of the cloud resource; and utilizing the existing cost and the estimated cost to calculate a change in budget of utilizing the cloud resource. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising: raising one or more alert based on the change in budget of utilizing the cloud resource. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: modifying the one or more price report by inputting one or more static parameter to the pricing calculator of the cloud resource, wherein the one or more static parameter is based on a user accessing the pricing calculator of the cloud resource. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the retrieving of the programming data and the one or more price report is assisted by one or more Application Programming Interface (API). ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein the one or more API is automatically triggered at a user defined time interval. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the metadata is extracted based on one or more of topic modelling technique. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more price report is automatically updated based on an update of the master dataset. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the natural language model is pre-trained based on syntax of the one or more software tool. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more price report is customizable based on a user input. ### Claim 11 A system for estimating cost of utilizing a cloud resource, comprising: one or more processor; a memory; and one or more programs stored in the memory, the one or more programs comprising instructions configured to: identify one or more software tool associated with the cloud resource, wherein the one or more software tool comprises programming data; retrieve the programming data of each of the one or more software tool; aggregate the programming data of each of the one or more software tool into a master dataset; extract metadata from the master dataset, wherein the metadata comprises one or more fields relevant to utilizing the cloud resource; parse the metadata, by a natural language model, to obtain one or more query parameter; and input the metadata and each of the one or more query parameter into a pricing calculator of the cloud resource to generate a price report, wherein the price report is utilized to estimate the cost of utilizing the cloud resource. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the instructions are further configured to: retrieve an existing cost of utilizing the cloud resource wherein the existing cost is based on a historical utilization of the cloud resource; and utilize the existing cost and the estimated cost to calculate a change in budget of utilizing the cloud resource. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the instructions are further configured to: raise one or more alert based on the change in budget of utilizing the cloud resource. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the instructions are further configured to: modify the one or more price report by inputting one or more static parameter to the pricing calculator of the cloud resource, wherein the one or more static parameter is based on a user accessing the pricing calculator of the cloud resource. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the retrieving of the programming data and the one or more price report is assisted by one or more Application Programming Interface (API). ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the metadata is extracted based on one or more of topic modelling technique. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the one or more price report is automatically updated based on an update of the master dataset. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the natural language model is pre-trained based on syntax of the one or more software tool. ### Claim 19 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the one or more price report is customizable based on a user input. ### Claim 20 A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer program code for execution by one or more processors of an apparatus, the computer program code configured to, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the apparatus to: identify one or more software tool associated with a cloud resource, wherein the one or more software tool comprises programming data; retrieve the programming data of each of the one or more software tool; aggregate the programming data of each of the one or more software tool into a master dataset; extract metadata from the master dataset, wherein the metadata comprises one or more fields relevant to utilizing the cloud resource; parse the metadata, by a natural language model, to obtain one or more query parameter; and input the metadata and each of the one or more query parameter into a pricing calculator of the cloud resource to generate a price report, wherein the price report is utilized to estimate a cost of utilizing the cloud resource.
