aws
pick-instance-type
[NEW CLI TOOL]
Description
-
Added a new
aws.GetRecommendedInstanceType
function to help us solve the issue where t2.micro and t3.micro instances are each available in some AZs, but not available in others. This module takes in a list of instance types to pick from and returns the recommended one to use, which is one that's available in all AZs in the current region. -
Added a new
pick-instance-type
CLI that can be used to execute the same function from the CLI and get a recommended instance type printed to stdout. This can be used to figure out the instance type to use outside of an automated testing context: e.g., as part of a Bash script. Binaries for this CLI tool will be available as release assets in this and all future Terratest releases.
