Private-pilot preparation — EC2 planning scope

Plan your EC2 budget
before you commit

Build and compare deterministic EC2 cost scenarios with traceable pricing inputs, explicit assumptions, and optional AI explanations.

Capabilities

Focused tools for one workflow: compare EC2 plans.

Bin-Pack Optimizer

O(n log n)

First-Fit Decreasing proposes EC2 allocations that meet the vCPU and memory requirements you enter, within the selected price catalog.

Stable Matcher

O(n²)

Gale-Shapley pairs every workload with the instance family it prefers — and that prefers it back.

Price Predictor

R² score

Weighted regression can model 30-90 day Spot trends only after enough fresh, genuine observations exist. Its uncertainty band is not a guarantee.

Cost Advisor

4 categories

Compare estimated alternatives for Graviton, right-sizing, pricing models, and instance families before validating compatibility and commitment fit.

Scenario Planner

Δ compare

Clone configs, tweak regions or pricing, and diff up to three scenarios side-by-side.

AI Insights

LLM

Optional AI-written explanations and consent-based PDF parsing stay separate from deterministic estimates. CSV bill parsing remains local.

Workflow

From assumptions to a retained result

01

Define

Set budget, region, pricing model. Add workloads with vCPU, RAM, and priority requirements.

POST /api/budgets
02

Review

Review workload, region, pricing-model, utilization, and 730-hour assumptions before generating an estimate.

POST /api/optimize
03

Compare

Save scenarios, compare up to three side-by-side, and export CSV. Optional AI text never changes the calculations.
