We are going to get the pricing history for t1.micro instances by using aws-lib (Extensible Node.js library for the Amazon Web Services API): var aws = require(“aws-lib”); var ec2 = aws.createEC2Client(accessKeyId, secretAccessKey); var iType = ‘t1.micro’; ec2.call(‘DescribeSpotPriceHistory’, {‘InstanceType.1′:iType}, function(result) { console.log(result.spotPriceHistorySet.item); } );

But I am against requesting new hosts. If you’re part of a big company and need additional IT resources, you probably find you’re required [...]
AWS CloudFormation gives developers and systems administrators an easy way to create a collection of related AWS resources and provision them in an orderly and predictable fashion. With CloudFormation, you can start and stop an entire environment with one operation. It’s very similar to Microsoft Azure’s approach with their .cscfg and .csdef files which are [...]
