Ask HN: How often do EC2 prices go down?
Do AWS EC2 prices ever go down or have they been constant throughout? I am particularly interested in on demand instances. Has anyone done any studies on pricing trends over time?
- freediver 5y agoThey don't as much when cheapest instances are in question. I keep checking https://cloudoptimizer.io/ https://cloudoptimizer.io/ and the lowest price is pretty constant. The way you can capitalize is finding the same compute elsewhere. For any AWS instance there is usually a cheaper equivalent elsewhere.
- cutthegrass2 5y agoThanks for sharing the cloudoptimizer.io link, first time i've seen it. Looks great. As an aside, if the developer is reading this, looks like the example command on the api page is missing a closing ' (single quote) after the <your token here> segment. https://cloudoptimizer.io/api https://cloudoptimizer.io/api
