ec2-instances-info

Golang library providing specs and pricing information about AWS EC2 instances, based on the data that is also powering the comprehensive www.ec2instances.info instance comparison website.

History

This used to be a part of my other project AutoSpotting which uses it intensively, but I decided to extract it into a dedicated project since it may be useful to someone else out there.

Some data fields that were not needed in AutoSpotting may not yet be exposed but they can be added upon demand.

Installation or update

go get -u github.com/cristim/ec2-instances-info/...

Usage

import "github.com/cristim/ec2-instances-info"

data, err := ec2instancesinfo.Data() // only needed once

// This would print all the available instance type names:
for _, i := range *data {
  fmt.Println("Instance type", i.InstanceType)
}

See the examples directory for a working code example.

Contributing

Pull requests and feedback are welcome.

The data can be updated for new instance type coverage using make update-data.
