## Requirements
- **Python 3.7+**
The package is compatible with Python 3.7 and above.
- **AWS Credentials Configured**
It uses `boto3` to interact with AWS APIs. Make sure your AWS CLI or environment variables are configured with appropriate credentials and permissions to access EC2 and Pricing APIs.
_Note: You don't need to set a default region in your environment._
