This is pretty amazing. Navigating the EC2 pricing documentation is such a hassle.
I tend to think of costs in terms of monthly, as well, and this is valuable when working out cost-proposal estimates for projects I'm pitching to potential clients.
- jandrese 10y agoIt is missing is storage and bandwidth costs, which can be a nontrivial chunk of an EC2 bill. And yes, it is hair pullingly frustrating experience trying to figure out how much an EC2 instance is going to cost you using Amazon's tools.
- ckozlowski 10y agoCan you elaborate a bit? Is it the cost calculator? (https://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html https://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html) What do you find frustrating? What can we improve? Let us know! (Disclaimer: I work for AWS.)
- boundlessdreamz 10y agoNot OP. But Amazon's pricing is very complex compared to Google's and also more expensive when it comes to VMs.
