It always strikes me that the best place of information for a cloud provider is not from that provider but a third party website. This is not a good comment for the cloud provider.

Funny story: When I was at AWS, I found that the easiest way automate instance data collection was by using the Vantage website code (it's on GitHub).

The cobbler's children have no shoes.

		Founder of Vantage here and former AWS employee. We actually recently made the decision to staff someone full time on the site just to maintain it for the community. Even the JSON file for the site gets hit hundreds of thousands of times per day...feels like it's become kind of the de-facto source of truth in the community for where to get reliable AWS pricing information and I believe its powering a pretty remarkable amount of downstream applications with how much usage its getting. We acquired the site almost 5 years ago and want to continue to improve it for the community. If you have any cloud cost management needs, we're also able to help for our main business here: https://www.vantage.sh/ Awesome to see all the comments on it here!
