Nice. Would be extra useful to see reserved instance pricing on here too.

This. I would like to see the amortized costs of running reserved instances 24/7 for their full reservation period.
another useful info for RAID0 is the disk strorage number:

2 disk: m2.4xlarge : 1680 GiB instance storage (2 x 840 GiB)

4 disk: c1.xlarge : 1680 GiB instance storage (4 x 420 GiB)

more info:

and a quick start: "RAID0 ephemeral storage on AWS EC2"

... and spot prices, too.
Here ya go, dynamic too (jeffbarr, take note) - http://mikekhristo.com/ec2-ondemand-vs-reserved-instance-sav...
That's really nice. Did you make it?
I didn't - the author's name is on the page though. I use it so often, I almost keep it in a dedicated browser tab.
Glad it's working out for you... let me know if you want any changes
Nice work!
