rize.py

Script to analyze reserved instance utilization.

Currently: assumes 1-year heavy utilization reserved instances.

Identifies:

• Reservations that aren't being used (and the total monthly cost/waste)
• Running instances that aren't reserved
• Cost savings if you were to reserve all running on-demand instances
• Time to recoup up-front reservation costs

JSON Data is downloaded automatically from www.cloudomix.com and has support for all regions at time of writing
