Quote of the week

❝

"We recently moved 80% of our compute workloads to AWS Graviton2-based Amazon EC2 Instances and achieved 40% better performance with a 20% cost reduction than x86-based EC2 instances. With these results, we look forward to exploring the benefits of using Graviton2-based instances for Amazon EMR, Amazon ElasticCache, and Amazon RDS."
