Get ec2 price right from your terminal
curl 'https://ec2.shop'
If you prefer json, use:
curl -H 'accept: json' 'https://ec2.shop'
If you want to search for a certain instance:
curl 'https://ec2.shop?filter=i3'
curl 'https://ec2.shop?filter=ssd'
AWS pricing page is very slow, sometime just timing out say "Fail to load price". I know similar service like https://ec2instances.info/ but it's also slow and didn't have curl-able interface.
All I want is a way to compare/check price right from terminal. The URL
need to be short and easy to remember, thus ec2.shop.
It's very accurate for on-demand instance, as accurate as whatever on this page: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/on-demand/
For spot instances, it maybe a bit outdated. The price is refresh every 5 minutes from this page: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/spot/pricing/
I need it myself and it's very cheap to keep it running given a majority of request are cached at Cloudflare.
Otherwise, you can run it yourself. I had Dockerfile, k8s, makefile to help you run it.
