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.

Wish there was more information about Elastic beanstalk - it always confuses me about how it works..

I've had the impression that elastic beanstalk (which I use) has suffered the fate of a few other Aws offerings in has been seen as less trendy than Docker/ECS. (See also: cloud search vs elasticsearch). But EB can do some things very well and very painlessly.

I recommend you also make the content available on a one-topic-per-page format ASAP before someone else does and takes credit for it. WHY: Google still doesn't handle anchor-links very well. You have 1000 amazing articles on a single page. Each section (e.g.: "High Availability on AWS") would be a great resource for someone searching on that topic in Google. But when you put it all on one page Google infers "1/1000th…

I understand the concern. We'll try doing something about that. That said, single page on GitHub for the moment means (1) discoverability directly on github.com, which helps everyone and (2) browser search on the whole guide (which actually is more helpful than you might think!).

I converted to pdf using Typora[1]. https://github.com/nodesocket/og-aws-pdf/raw/master/the-open... [1] https://www.typora.io/

Let us know if you find the PDF helpful? We could post one on the GitHub repo too — though it's so full of links I'm not sure how useful it is.
