Cloud Select

This is a tool that helps a user select a cloud. It will make it easy for an HPC user to say:

I need 4 nodes with these criteria, to run in the cloud.

And then be given a set of options and prices for different clouds to choose from. There are some supporting packages that exist already (in Go for AWS) so we will start there.

🚧️ under development 🚧️

This tool is under development and is not ready for production use. See our

• ⭐️ Documentation ⭐️
• 📦️ Pypi Package 📦️

TODO and Questions

• should cache be organized by region to allow easier filter (data for AWS doesn't have that attribute)
• go through list of instance features and implement remaining for Google (if possible)

Future desires

These are either "nice to have" or small details we can improve upon. Aka, not top priority.

• should we allow currency outside USD? Probably not for now.
• could eventually support different resource types (beyond compute or types of prices, e.g., pre-emptible vs. on demand)
• aws instance listing (based on regions) should validate regions - an invalid regions simply returns no results
