EC2 Price Finder helps you quickly find the cheapest EC2 instances for your needs. Also allows you to compare an instance's price across different AWS regions in one go.
Until the project is added to quicklisp, the easiest way to install it is to
clone the repo, create a symlink to the project directory inside
~/quicklisp/local-projects/, or add the project's directory to
ASDF:*CENTRAL-REGISTRY*, then run:
(ql:quickload "ec2-price-finder")You will also need to download the bulk pricing CSV for EC2 from AWS. It is available at the following URL (warning: 1.2 GB file):
https://pricing.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/offers/v1.0/aws/AmazonEC2/current/index.csv
Load the previously downloaded pricing file in your Lisp image:
(ec2-price-finder:load-pricing-file "/path/to/index.csv")After this, you can start the Hunchentoot server.
(ec2-price-finder:start-server 8080)Now open http://localhost:8080 in the browser to find your instance!
After you are done, simply stop the server as follows:
(ec2-price-finder:stop-server)
