Deprecation Notice

Important: This package is deprecated and should no longer be used. Please switch to the 'best-ec2' package by running:

https://pypi.org/project/best-ec2/

Prerequisites

• python3
• pip3
• boto3
• AWS Account
• AWS Credentials

Install

pip install amazon-ec2-best-instance

Options

• vcpu Required. Float. Describes the vCPU configurations for the instance type.
• memory_gb Required. Float. Describes the memory for the instance type in GiB.
• usage_class Optional. String. Indicates whether the instance type is offered for spot or On-Demand. Default: 'on-demand'. Values: 'spot'|'on-demand'.
• burstable Optional. Boolean. Indicates whether the instance type is a burstable performance instance type.
• architecture Optional. String. The architectures supported by the instance type. Default: 'x86_64'. Values: 'i386'|'x86_64'|'arm64'|'x86_64_mac'
• product_descriptions Optional. List. The operating system that you will use on the virtual machine. Default: ['Linux/UNIX']. Values: Linux/UNIX | Red Hat Enterprise Linux | SUSE Linux | Windows | Linux/UNIX (Amazon VPC) | Red Hat Enterprise Linux (Amazon VPC) | SUSE Linux (Amazon VPC) | Windows (Amazon VPC)
• is_current_generation Optional. Boolean. Use the latest generation or not.
• has_gpu Optional. Boolean. Indicating whether the instance is equipped with a GPU. Default: None
• gpu_memory Optional. Integer. Amount of GPU Memory in Gigabytes (GiB). Only activated when 'has_gpu' is set to True. Default: None
• is_instance_storage_supported Optional. Boolean. Use instance types with instance store support
• max_interruption_frequency Optional. Integer (%). Max spot instance frequency interruption in percent. Note: If you specify >=21, then the '>20%' rate is applied. It is used only if 'usage_class' == 'spot' and 'is_best_price' == True
• availability_zones Optional. List. Availability zones. E.g. ['us-east-1a', 'us-east-1b']
• final_spot_price_determination_strategy Optional. String. Default: "min". Valid values: "min"|"max"|"average"

Usage

Simple

from amazon_ec2_best_instance import Ec2BestInstance

ec2_best_instance = Ec2BestInstance()

# It returns all available instance types, including those with over-provisioning resources (CPU, memory, etc.).
response = ec2_best_instance.get_best_instance_types({
    'vcpu': 1,
    'memory_gb': 2
})

print(response)

Spot

If you need to get a spot instance with minimal price and minimal frequency of interruption you can use 'is_best_price' and/or 'max_interruption_frequency' input parameter

from amazon_ec2_best_instance import Ec2BestInstance

ec2_best_instance = Ec2BestInstance()

response = ec2_best_instance.get_best_instance_types({
    # Required. Float
    'vcpu': 31.2,
    # Required. Float
    'memory_gb': 100.5,
    # Optional. String. Default: 'on-demand'. Values: 'spot'|'on-demand'
    'usage_class': 'spot',
    # Optional. Boolean.
    # If this parameter is set to True, the method will return the instance type with the best price.
    'is_best_price': True,
    # Optional. Integer. Max spot instance frequency interruption in percent.
    # Note: If you specify >=21, then the '>20%' rate is applied
    # It is used only if 'usage_class' == 'spot' and 'is_best_price' == True
    'max_interruption_frequency': 10
