Show HN: AWS EC2 On-demand vs. Reserved Interactive Price Comparison

This is simple but excellent. AWS should have graphs like that on their calculator page to help people decide how long it will take for their investment in a reserved instance to get ahead of on-demand (or another reserved instance plan).

I'm not sure how these calculations are correct - I have eu-west-1 set up, and the price for 1yr heavy reserved is fixed. But the AWS pricing still has an hourly rate against it. The final cost looks right, but the initial cost (eg., taking out the reservation but never running the instance) should just be the setup cost I think?

Is there any plans on making this tool accessible? I'm a screen reader user and the sliders don't appear to work with Firefox and Jaws.

I like the idea, it's just a bit difficult to use for what I'm getting out of it. Simple things like making clear what the "number of days" slider means (it didn't take long to figure it out, but I had to use the context to draw my conclusion). I'm used to seeing my instances in the typical "t1.micro, m1.small, m1.medium, etc" format, so I was a bit thrown off by the "Instance Category" dropdown.<p>It would also be nice to have values on the x axis of the graph so I can see exactly when certain thresholds are crossed - as of right now I'm just assuming that the max x-value is my specified days * 24.<p>Again, cool idea, but I'd be more inclined to hit up the AWS Cost Calculator (<a href="http://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/calc5.html" rel="nofollow">http://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/calc5.html</a>). It's ugly, but it allows me to quickly add many resources from all of the AWS services for a total monthly cost.

Cool tool. One suggestion, in the dropdown where you list the types of instances, can you append the abbreviations that AWS uses (e.g. M1-small, M2-medium, M3-large). I'm sure I'm not alone in referring to instances by those codes rather than their full names, which I seem to always forget.

If you're taking feature requests, it'd be really handy to see pricing breakdowns for Windows instances as well. They have a different breakeven point than the Linux ones.

That very cool, something that many of us will find useful.<p>Feedback: The top bar folds over when the browser window is resized (looks like anything less than 1024 px). The page then starts to overlap on itself blocking out content at the top.<p>How did you code up the graphing part? HTML5?

Sweet project :) The page layout seems to break for windows narrower than about 900 pixels, though.

This is a nice tool, another one (and a point of comparison/inspiration) is at <a href="http://whichinstance.com" rel="nofollow">http://whichinstance.com</a>.<p>EDIT: fixed autocorrect

For 30 days 24hr scenario, "Total cost of instance" graph is showing bogus numbers on the iPad. Let me know if you are unable to replicate and need a screenshot.

It would be interesting to see the current spot instance price plotted as well.
