Graviton Developer Day for Python, Go, and Java

Hosts: Christian Melendez, Mike Dukes, Syl Taylor

Join this hands-on workshop to learn all about AWS Graviton processors and considerations about how to develop and deploy applications to achieve the best EC2 price-performance and sustainability on AWS. During this hands-on workshop you will take an example application running on x86 instances application (choosing from Python, Go or Java) and learn how to migrate, test, and optimize especially for Graviton. Once you have converted the application you will have the opportunity to learn how to deploy it on Graviton infrastructure through Amazon EKS or Autoscaling Groups. Participants must be able to use their computer to access the labs.
