README

spotinfo

Command-line tool for AWS EC2 Spot Instance exploration with placement score analysis

spotinfo is a powerful CLI tool and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides comprehensive AWS EC2 Spot Instance information, including real-time placement scores, pricing data, and interruption rates. Perfect for DevOps engineers optimizing cloud infrastructure costs.

Key Features

🎯 AWS Spot Placement Scores

Real-time placement scores (1-10 scale) for launch success probability
Regional and AZ-level analysis with visual indicators (🟢🟡🔴)
Smart contextual scoring - scores reflect entire request success likelihood
Freshness tracking with cache optimization

🔍 Advanced Filtering & Analysis

Regex-powered instance type matching (t3.*, ^(m5|c5)\.(large|xlarge)$)
Multi-dimensional filtering by vCPU, memory, price, regions, and placement scores
Cross-region comparison with --region all support
Flexible sorting by price, reliability, savings, or placement scores

📊 Multiple Output Formats

Visual formats: Table with emoji indicators, plain text
Data formats: JSON, CSV for automation and scripting
Clean separation: Visual indicators only in human-readable formats

💰 Live Price Fallback

Automatic enrichment for newer instance types missing from the static pricing feed
EC2 DescribeSpotPriceHistory API fetches current prices when static data shows $0
Price source indicators show whether prices come from static data or live API
Graceful degradation — works without AWS credentials, just shows $0 for missing types

🌐 Network Resilience

Embedded data for offline functionality
Graceful fallbacks when AWS APIs are unavailable
Real-time API integration with intelligent caching
