Between that and https://ec2instances.info/ https://ec2instances.info/, I can figure out the vast majority of what I need to know about costs on AWS.
What are the gaps that you see?
- toomuchtodo 9y agoTell me what your ALB costs are going to be next month. “You are charged for each hour or partial hour that an Application Load Balancer is running and the number of Load Balancer Capacity Units (LCU) used per hour.” Go here and see how “LCUs” are computed: https://aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/pricing/ https://aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/pricing/
- nemothekid 9y agoIf you spin up almost anything on GCP, you can see the monthly cost right there, with all the options you have selected. A rather obvious gap is this one - How much will an i3.xlarge with an extra 2TiB of storage cost you per month on AWS?
- sushisource 9y agoIf they were genuinely interested in making it easy you'd see pricing information every time you're spinning up a new EC2 instance / whatever other service, right there, without needing to go pull up the cost calculator. Have an instant "estimate my current bill" button, etc, etc.
