Vantage Acquires EC2instances.info

Vantage, an alternative AWS console focused on developer experience and cost transparency, has acquired EC2instances.info, a popular tool for comparing various EC2 instance types. The acquisition aims to enhance user interaction with cloud infrastructure and provide better tools for understanding cloud costs. EC2instances.info will now operate under the new domain instances.vantage.sh, maintaining its free access while Vantage plans to introduce additional features and functionality, such as expanding service prices beyond virtual machine pricing. The transition is designed to be seamless, with redirects ensuring backward compatibility for existing users. Garret Heaton, the creator of EC2instances.info, expressed excitement about Vantage's investment in the site to help users manage costs across their infrastructure. Users do not need to be registered with Vantage to access instances.vantage.sh, and feedback on the tool can be submitted through various channels including GitHub and the Vantage Slack community.
