Your answer is very helpful - Thanks a lot.

I still have one problem, when I run:
      curl --silent https://raw.githubusercontent.com/garnaat/missingcloud/master/aws.json | jq -c '[.services."Elastic Compute Cloud".instance_types|to_entries|.[]|.key]’

To get the list of all available instances type, it don’t give me : t2.medium, t2.micro and t2.small
Is there anyway to get the full list?



Thanks
Shlomit
