Wow, the link to http://www.ec2instances.info/ alone is so helpful. I wish I'd had this set of resources a year ago when I spent weeks trying to understand AWS' own documentation.



Right? I wish Amazon were just running a page like that themselves.


Which aspect of it do you find the most useful?

* All of the instance types on one page? * All of the per-type facts in one row? * Sorting?

Let me know and I will share it with the team.


* Everything on one page

* Doesn't take 30+ seconds to load

* Sortable and filterable


* All information on one page with sortable columns

* Filters!

* Ability to see pricing cost per hour, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly

* Quick and easy to switch between regions

* The compare selected feature

My wishlist for this site would be a way to easily compare pricing information between regions.


If you want to answer the question "What's the cheapest way to get 16gb of ram and 4 cores?" (or the same for a 1 year term) then having a list you can filter and sort is much more helpful than Amazon's pricing pages.


Upvoted for this link alone. I am so, so tired of the scroll, squint, hunt & jump I have to do on the current Amazon EC2 pricing page to compare costs and features of instances. Especially when trying to compare legacy instances (which we still have a lot of) to newer or VPC ones.


I will also add https://www.cloudorado.com/ for those who want to also compare against other clouds.


Great link; i wish i had this years ago! Thx for this contribution!


This is awesome. Almost everytime I've to launch an instance for a new app or something, I end up googling "aws ec2 instances", "ec2 pricing" etc.
