Spotinfo — a new CLI for AWS SpotCategory: Business, Data, github, automation
The spotinfo is a command-line tool you can use for exploring AWS Spot instances across multiple AWS regions. Using Amazon EC2 Spot instances is an excellent way to reduce EC2 on-demand instance cost, up to 90%.
Amazon provides an excellent web interface AWS Spot Instance Advisor to explore available Spot instances and determine spot instance pools with the least chance of interruption.
Under the hood, the spotinfo is using two public data sources available from AWS: The spotinfo allows you to access the same information you can see in the AWS Spot Instance Advisor, but from a command line and can be used for scripting and automation use cases.
One annoying thing about the AWS Spot Instance Advisor is the inability to compare EC2 spot instances across multiple AWS regions.
