Looks good. A nice-to have addition would be price per compute unit.
Price per Gb memory would be good also.

Re: Show HN: Amazon EC2 instance comparison table
#12Made 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.
Simple, but highly functional. That's the right way to do it.
Any chance we could get some other regions in there too?

If you want ec2instances.info without the www to work you might consider using WWWizer (http://www.wwwizer.com/)
Basically you can point any domain's A record to 174.129.25.170 and it will redirect you to the www subdomain.

#14Thank 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
Agreed, the current overview sucks. Amazon should hire the guy :)

#15Please add reserved instances and EBS volumes!
Awesome job powdahound, and I support this comment. You could show the cost units for reserved instances as a range.
For example a small reserved instance's base cost is $227.50 per year so that's a lower bound of $.0263/hour. Then adding $.03 per hour used the upper bound is $.0563/hour.
So over the course of a year you'd pay within the range $.0263/hour - $.0563/hour depending on your usage.

That's a great idea. Just hooked it up.

You bet - I'm hoping to add more regions and data once I have some free time. Still putting out some EC2 fires from yesterday.

#18I've personally found running 3-4 micro instances behind a load balancer offers more RAM, more CPU power (in short bursts), and fail over than 1 Small instance at the same price or cheaper. However, it doesn't always make sense for every application.

#19Can I ask what did you use to make those tables please?
I'm a beginner CSS/HTML person, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just used a jQuery plugin called tablesorter: http://tablesorter.com/docs/
