Add current/previous generation column #680

Closed timbo16883 closed 1 year ago

timbo16883 commented 1 year ago

is there any way to add a generation column to show if an instance type is current or previous so i can filter to update a recommendation list ?

That should be live within 24 hours on instances.vantage.sh! You'll be able to filter by 'current' and 'previous' across all 5 services.

What actually gets set as previous here? I would expect to see many more generations set as previous but it seems to be the T1, A1, M1-3, C1-3, R3, D2, I2 instances only? Why is C4 etc considered a current generation when C5 instances came out 6.5 years ago?

The AWS CLI seems to think that the C4 instances aren't current generation either:

$ aws ec2 describe-instance-types --instance-types c4.2xlarge --query 'InstanceTypes[0].CurrentGeneration'
false

But they're marked as current here.
