Filter out Arm or x86 #654

Closed lozbrown closed 1 year ago

lozbrown commented 2 years ago

how would someone filter out all the Arm graviton stuff? the software i plan on running needs to be on x86

EverettBerry commented 2 years ago

The easiest way to do this currently is to add the Physical Processor column then input Intel into the search bar image

lozbrown commented 2 years ago

Wouldn't that exclude AMD stuff?

EverettBerry commented 2 years ago

Great point 😅 you can do Intel|AMD in the search bar on the top right to include both. image

EverettBerry commented 2 years ago

@lozbrown if that works for you, you can close this issue. We do have a feature request for regex or negation so I will reference this there.

lozbrown commented 2 years ago

Cculd the pipe symbol for or capability be made more clear on the website

EverettBerry commented 2 years ago

Yeah you bet, I'll update our docs page here and then add a link to it https://handbook.vantage.sh/tools/instance-pricing/

gjoseph92 commented 1 year ago

This workaround works for now, but given that CPU architecture is listed on the instance details page (see t3a.nano vs t4g.nano), it would helpful and more intuitive if this was just a column.

EverettBerry commented 1 year ago

Thanks for this. I can probably add this pretty quickly.

pataquets commented 1 year ago

I tripped on this, too. Related issue: #400

EverettBerry commented 1 year ago

@lozbrown @gjoseph92 @pataquets Hey folks, wanted to bring your attention to a few items with the goal of closing this issue.

  1. I just merged Regex support for column filters, #674, which means you can now do things like ^((?!Graviton).)*$ to exclude all ARM instances. You can also do Intel|AMD|Apple to achieve the same result. This change will be live within 24 hours as our cache clears.
  2. These are filters for the Phyiscal Processor column.
  3. I've updated the documentation to reflect this functionality https://handbook.vantage.sh/tools/instances/#regex-support

Please let me know if these items satisfy the feature requests here and we can close this out!

lozbrown commented 1 year ago

Nice work, this is really helpful

gjoseph92 commented 1 year ago

Thanks @EverettBerry, that definitely makes things easier. Still think it might be nice to have a "CPU Architecture" column eventually, but for now this does make the filtering easier.
