ec2instances.info VS infracost

This web page for comparing EC2 pricing using filtering https://instances.vantage.sh/?region=us-east-2 is open source https://github.com/vantage-sh/ec2instances.info

Worked on adding Dedicated Host pricing to https://ec2instances.info so it can display pricing for mac1 and mac2 AWS instances. Ended up being much more involved than expected, https://github.com/vantage-sh/ec2instances.info/pull/667

It's community supported! We just pay the bills and maintain hosting it :)

Do you mind opening an issue on the repo here? https://github.com/vantage-sh/ec2instances.info

Thank you for the report!

Hey HN, 10 years after the project began we have updated the UI for the cloud server comparison site known as EC2Instances.info. This refresh brings a sticky filter bar so you can scroll and see what filters are applied, a more compact navbar, and improved UX for comparing instances.

I've also fixed numerous long standing UI bugs including: comparisons now load correctly on RDS and ElastiCache, sort by max ENI works, sort by RDS instance storage works, and all dropdowns have consistent behavior.

For maintainers and contributors, all the frontend libraries are upgraded to their latest versions, https://github.com/vantage-sh/ec2instances.info. Going forward, we are aware that the homepage size is quite large and have plans to address this.

We have tried to be good stewards of this project and evolve it carefully. Eager to hear what you think of the new UI!

Hi everyone! I am the new maintainer for ec2instances.info, an AWS server comparison site. I just shipped my first major feature called Detail Pages, https://github.com/vantage-sh/ec2instances.info/commit/31e2fb41a280eb86da9d135b4b852f8d6325c33f

Sorry for being harsh, but it is really screwed up for Firefox users. For me it's completely unusable, because when trying to filter it freezes for more than 20 seconds before displaying the filtered values. And that's on a rather recent desktop PC.

There is an open bug report regarding that, however nothing has happened in the past year to fix it: https://github.com/vantage-sh/ec2instances.info/issues/586

‍Infracost is a cost estimation tool that generates cost estimates for Terraform projects, which is crucial for budget planning and cost optimization, especially in cloud environments where resource costs can vary significantly.

Infracost is a tool that provides cloud cost estimates for infrastructure managed by Terraform. It enables engineers to view and understand the financial impact of their infrastructure changes before they are applied. Infracost integrates directly into the workflow, offering cost breakdowns in various environments like the terminal, Visual Studio Code, or directly within pull requests. This feature allows for more informed decision-making regarding infrastructure modifications, promoting cost-awareness and budget management in the early stages of development. Infracost is particularly useful for teams looking to balance cloud resource utilization with budget constraints. Infracost Cloud is their SaaS product that builds on top of Infracost open source and works with CI/CD integrations. It gives team leads, managers and FinOps practitioners dashboards, guardrails, centralized cost policies and Jira integration so they can help guide the team (e.g. switch AWS GP2 volumes to GP3).

Inevitable end for every open source company since the free money ended. What bothers me is that wording is vague enough.

> HashiCorp considers a competitive offering to be a product or service provided to users or customers outside of your organization that has significant overlap with the capabilities of HashiCorp’s commercial products or services.

So, consider there is no cost estimate service and you built a thing that got popular (https://github.com/infracost/infracost). Then after 2 years Terraform Cloud catches up. What happens? Are you out of business?

I've started to work on Carbonifer, a tool that can estimate carbon emissions before deploying an infrastructure. A bit like infracost, this reads Terraform files and estimates carbon emissions if this plan is applied.

Infracost is an open-source project that helps us understand how and where we’re spending our money. It gives a detailed breakdown of actual infrastructure costs and calculates how changes impact them. Basically, Infracost is a git diff for billing.
