I made some similar project <a href="https://ec2.shop/" rel="nofollow">https://ec2.shop/</a> it even support a curl interface. My proudest achievement is spot instances pricing. You can use it to bid automatically spot price.
Would love to know a ballpark figure for this acquisition. I mean this tool looks useful to some people I suppose - but the fact remains it's just a slightly more usable list of EC2 properties and costs. How much can it really be worth?<p>Not trying to sound snarky or look down on anything here. I'm genuinely curious. Cool tool. It's worth money!?
As a former contributor/co-maintainer and currently AWS employee I'm curious about your plans about the open source project behind the website.<p>Do you have any plans to change the licensing and/or contribution model? Are OpenSource contributions as welcomed as before?
Always found ec2instances.info super useful. But found vCPU such a weird unit (that's on AWS of course), as it changes with every CPU generation. So I bought cloudinstances.info. Originally wanted to demystify the vCPU. Never got around to actually building it.<p>Anything you would like to see?<p>Was thinking of the following:<p>- some stock synthetic benchmark<p>- response times of "todolist" app in django, express, ... for real-world data<p>- all kinds of io latencies and percentiles<p>- detailed CPU info including cache sizes (and maybe even cache thrashing of noisy neighbours as probably not everyone uses cache allocation technology yet)<p>- comparing with some dedicated hardware (would be interesting how nitro compares to kvm based cloud providers)<p>Any more ideas?
This is the sort of thing I'd have acquired if I'd known it was on the market. Things like this never appear on the usual marketplaces for side projects in my experience, so do such sales tend to come from cold reach out?
Would be awesome to add some kind of benchmarking, and cost per said benchmark value. Making it easier to evaluate which instances to pick over others on perf/$.
There are a lot of good ideas in this thread, but recently I've found I can't use ec2instances.info anymore because there's no description of the instance classes (and I can't keep them all in my head anymore. c5 is obvious, but what are c5n, c5a, c5d, and c5ad? Might be troublesome in a column, but maybe a popover on the name column or something could work.
This has reminded me of a weekend project I made that compares AWS/Azure/etc in a similar table (<a href="https://providers.stacksetup.com/" rel="nofollow">https://providers.stacksetup.com/</a>).
This must be like one of a handful of .info domains that is not immediately bucketed into "spam" for me. Don't know why, but that's what that TLD means to me.
My wishlist:<p>* Could you fix the arch column, it currently shows "64-bit" for both Intel and ARM. No way to filter only ARM.<p>* Would it be possible to only show the latest generation?<p>* Would it be possible to hide disk/network variants? (e.g. C5D/C5N)<p>* Would it be possible to filter by CPU brand (Intel/AMD/Graviton)?<p>* Faster initial loading<p>* Quicker updates when AWS announces new instance types.<p>* Filter ranges (e.g. 4-8 cores)<p>* Dropdowns for filters (e.g. clicking on the arch will show all the options)<p>* Better datatable implementation (e.g. ag-Grid), to implement some of the above suggestions
There's also an Azure version but it's been unavailable for me for some time - <a href="http://www.azureinstances.info/" rel="nofollow">http://www.azureinstances.info/</a><p>Does anyone know if it's made by the same folks?
