Amazon EC2 provides a great way to rent processing power in the cloud and Spot Pricing gets you great pricing by bidding on spare capacity in the cloud. Quite often I find myself wanting to run some processing load but find it hard to immediately see which region is cheapest at that given time. So I knocked up a quick script to give me the info in a handy table.

Excellent Work Simon..!! Very Useful..!!
Can you let me know from where is this data being pulled ? how are you programmatically pulling the data for spot instances ?
