Improvement: Include Region as column
If region is added as a column it will be useful to chose proper region by comparing prices for multiple regions.
Let me make sure I understand this request. You would like to see columns for pricing in multiple regions at the same time instead of having to use the dropdown region selector? Perhaps this could be done by having an "All" option in the region dropdown that showed the additional columns.
It can be done by adding "All" option. Or allowing multi select in region drop down. Multi select would be most appropriate. Both the cases region column is needed.
I've recently found this article, which I think it's worth sharing: https://www.concurrencylabs.com/blog/choose-your-aws-region-wisely/ After reading it, tried to get that info from ec2instances.info, too :)
Even just understanding which instance types are available in which regions is also extremely valuable. Organizations which deploy in several regions may strongly prefer instance types which are available in all required regions (e.g. to avoid testing of several types).
@cameron-dunn-sublime for now, when pricing is "unavailable" in the Linux On-Demand column, the instance is not available in the region. You can filter on the regex \$
on that column to only show instances which are available in the region. When you click on any instance to go to its detail page, you will only be able to select regions from the dropdown where the instance is available.
All that said, this UX is fairly clunky and I am sure there is a better way to present it.
It can be done by adding "All" option. Or allowing multi select in region drop down. Multi select would be most appropriate. Both the cases region column is needed.
I second that, both All
and multi-select would be really handy!
