Feature request: filter out unavailable instances

[multani]

I'm using the eu-central-1 mostly and there are a bunch of instances which are not available. It would be nice if I could just not display these instances so it makes the comparison even simpler.

It would also be nice I guess if these instances were still displayed on request though, maybe with a visual difference, so that we can see what we are missing by staying in this zone. Something like a switch to say "display / don't display unavailable instances" would be cool.

I'd love to see this, too.

Looks like this is done. Under price it now says "unavailable"

[blalor]

The question is if it'd be possible to exclude these from the listing. Can filtering be done by price?

@blalor Not currently

@multani @blalor hello from the future 😅 regexs are now supported in the filter columns so you can do things like \$ to exclude all 'unavailable' instances

Let me know if this satisfies this issue and we can close it.

Hi @EverettBerry , I'm not using AWS anymore, but this looks great :)

One issue perhaps: the "discoverability" of this feature may need a hint or something like that, I'm not sure how someone would come up with this filter value if they want to remove the unavailable instances.

[EverettBerry]

That's a great point about discoverability. Need to call that out. Maybe @powdahound has thoughts?

[powdahound]

Agree that this is basically undiscoverable. At least I know I'd never think to apply that filter. :)

One idea for a way to expose it: Have a "hide" link next to the "Unavailable" text that fills this filter field?
