As my first project in my summer internship at Microsoft Hong Kong, I was asked to look into solving the problem of analyzing the offerings of Azure Virtual Machines and comparing it with AWS EC2 instances. I henceforth found a solution in the form of EC2instances.info, forked the github, ported it for Azure and implemented several new features.
There is a lot of room for refinement, enhancement, improvement and testing, and if you think you can contribute to this project please do. Also, all kind of feedback is also welcome.
