infrawrench-bulk-instances

AWS instance attributes and prices (EC2, RDS, ElastiCache and more), with their full history, from the bundles Infrawrench publishes at instances-bundles.infrawrench.com.

pip install infrawrench-bulk-instances

import os

from infrawrench_bulk_instances import download_aws_ec2_pricing_data

data = download_aws_ec2_pricing_data(token=os.environ.get("INFRAWRENCH_API_KEY"))

data.keys()  # ["m5.large", "t2.micro", ...]

m5 = data.get("m5.large")
assert m5 is not None
m5.attributes["vcpu"]  # "2"
m5.attributes_in("US East (N. Virginia)")  # with that region's overrides
next(
    p.hourly
    for p in m5.pricing.on_demand
    if p.region_code == "us-east-1" and p.operating_system == "Linux" and p.tenancy == "Shared"
    and p.pre_installed_sw == "NA" and p.capacitystatus == "Used"
)  # 0.096

m5.attributes_history  # every attribute change, oldest first
m5.pricing_history.reserved  # every reserved price change, oldest first

Any Infrawrench bearer credential works as token (an iwk_ API key, an agent credential or a WorkOS access token). It defaults to INFRAWRENCH_API_KEY. Failures raise AWSPricingDataError, whose status is the HTTP status, if there was a response. Requires Python 3.10 or later; no dependencies.

Other AWS platforms

download_aws_pricing_data(platform, ...) loads any platform's bundle; download_aws_ec2_pricing_data(...) is the same as download_aws_pricing_data("ec2", ...). AWS_PLATFORMS lists them:

The fields that pick a price differ by platform. data.variant_keys names them, and every price has a variant mapping keyed by them:

from infrawrench_bulk_instances import download_aws_pricing_data

rds = download_aws_pricing_data("rds")
rds.variant_keys  # ("databaseEngine", "databaseEdition", "licenseModel", "deploymentOption", ...)
db = rds.get("db.m5.large")
assert db is not None
next(
    p.hourly
    for p in db.pricing.on_demand
    if p.region_code == "us-east-1" and p.variant["databaseEngine"] == "MySQL"
    and p.variant["deploymentOption"] == "Multi-AZ"
)

operating_system, tenancy, license_model, pre_installed_sw and capacitystatus are EC2's variant fields. On other platforms they are "", unless the platform has a field with that name (RDS has licenseModel).

Caching

The bundle is downloaded xz-compressed (about 20 MB) and kept decompressed (about 210 MB) in ~/.infrawrench/aws_pricing_data (cache_path), so a cached load skips decompression. Each load asks the server which bundle is latest and downloads it only if it is not cached, deleting the older one. If the server cannot be reached, the newest cached bundle is used instead. Each platform's bundle is cached under its own name (rds-bundle-…json), so loading one never evicts another. Pass cache_pricing_data=False to always download and never touch the disk. The cache is shared with the other Infrawrench bulk-instances SDKs.

Loading decompresses and parses the whole bundle. Instances are decoded lazily: get only wraps the raw rows, and attributes, attributes_history, pricing and pricing_history each decode on first access and keep the result. The returned objects are shared between calls, so they are read-only: prices and changes are frozen dataclasses, sequences are tuples and mappings are read-only views (attributes_in returns a new dict).

Prices and regions

• region is the AWS location name (US East (N. Virginia)), region_code its code (us-east-1) where the price list gives one, else None.
• pricing holds only what is still offered. In pricing_history, a None hourly means the price stopped being offered at at.
• Dates are timezone-aware UTC datetimes.
• Instances AWS no longer lists are still in keys(), with deleted_at set and empty pricing.
