A while back I found something that AWS began offering that made the below paragraph meaningless. I’ll be back with more soon. I know I said that before, but I’ll try extra hard this time…

I’ve wanted it for some time now… an always up-to-date CSV file that I can programmatically download—using PowerShell, duh—directly from AWS. But not just any CSV. I need a continually updated CSV that includes all the possible information on every AWS EC2 instance type. It can even include the previous generation instances, providing there’s a column that indicates whether it’s current or not. It would probably contain information I’ll never need, or want, and I’d still want the file, as I can easily filter against the contents of the document. I’d love to write the website post that shows how to do that if we can get this file to fruition.
