EC2 Capacity Manager: see all your capacity in one place

AWS just announced EC2 Capacity Manager, and if you're managing EC2 at scale, this is worth your attention.

Here's what changed: instead of bouncing between the AWS Console, CloudWatch, Cost and Usage Reports, and EC2 APIs to piece together capacity data, you now get everything in one dashboard.

What you can actually do with it:

• View reserved, on-demand, and Spot capacity across all regions and accounts from one screen
• Spot underutilized capacity reservations—sometimes you're paying for capacity you're not using
• Analyze Spot interruption patterns so you can make smarter workload decisions
• Export data to S3 for long-term analysis (goes beyond the 90-day console retention)
• Modify reservation parameters without leaving the interface

The real win: You stop doing manual data collection and context switching. The service refreshes hourly and gives you prioritized optimization opportunities. It's the kind of thing that saves teams weeks of work per year.

Available now across all commercial AWS regions. No additional cost.
