Great work! Could you please add the Ec2 Suse instance types to the table, for comparison? I haven't been able to compare the Cpu performance of the Suse instance type compared to the standard types.

Added to my todo list. Didn't even realize there were special SUSE types. :)

Suse and non-Suse instances run on the same hardware at different prices.

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

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

Yes because knowing how to use HTML tables and 1 jQuery plugin means you're ready to work at a Fortune 500 company.

A fortune 500 company has all kinds of jobs. Not everyone needs to be uberl33t like you.

Did you create an account just to reply to my nonsense post?

Yeah but the 3 click process of using my Google account to log in wasn't really a hassle. With Reddit being down and all I guess it was time for me to create an account here.

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.

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.

Or you use a .htacess and do not give a random person control over your domain.

  Options +FollowSymlinks
  RewriteEngine on
  rewritecond %{http_host} ^ec2instances.info [nc]
  rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.ec2instances.info/$1 [r=301,nc]

The site is hosted on S3 so that type of configuration isn't an option. More details: http://powdahound.com/2011/03/hosting-a-static-site-on-amazo...
