Saw this great tweet the other day from @nixcraft about a nice simple way to get some ec2 costs just by using curl.
This is a nice simple way to get some costs, you can also add filters for your region, plus to get some finer break down for instance type or certain disk models.
This should really be under the Quick Tips section, but I thought I would put it here first as this can really help costs these things up.
It’s just a good thing to carry these things out from the command line, some examples are
curl 'https://ec2.shop'
Have a go and check it out, very handy when costing up projects etc, as you can code the collection of instance types and add discounts if you get them with your company.
