Made this a while back because I was sick of the way Amazon's instance info (http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/) and pricing info (http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/) were on different pages in a hard-to-browse format.

Hoping this helps people compare and choose new instances following yesterday's troubles.

Pretty cool! Is there a way to show the spot instances price too? Maybe some ajax magic?

Nice overview, and I wholeheartedly concur that the AWS site is a mess.

Gladly the actual AWS Web GUI works pretty well, and so does their pricing calculator[1]. But everything else could really use a design overhaul.

Thank you. This is way better than the way amazon lays it out. Can you add the additional zones (asia, europe). Simple but very useful. Thanks

Reserved instances would be nice, too.

Totally agree. Would love to add all this data once I have some free time. Some basic performance data could be cool too...

Looks good. A nice-to have addition would be price per compute unit.
