EC2Instances.info

ec2instances is an open-source project that powers an intuitive, searchable comparison site for Amazon EC2 instance types, helping developers and cloud architects quickly evaluate compute options without the friction of navigating multiple AWS console screens. The site aggregates key metrics — including CPU, memory, storage, networking specs, and pricing — across many instance families, and lets users filter, sort, and visually compare configurations side by side. It was created to simplify decision-making for cloud provisioning, making it easier to choose the best instance type for performance and cost goals, and it’s maintained by the Vantage community to stay updated with current AWS offerings and user suggestions. Contributors use automated scrapers and workflows in the repository to fetch, update, and curate the underlying data that powers the comparison interface, and the site itself supports API access for programmatic integration into tools or dashboards.
