Hey Reader.

Welcome to Issue # 133 of AWS Graviton Weekly, which will be focused on sharing everything that happened in the past week related to AWS Silicon: from August 1, 2025 to August 8, 2025.

Before doing the standard stuff we do every single week here, I wanted to congratulate Christian Melendez for his upcoming book called "Kubernetes Autoscaling: Building Efficient and Cost-Optimized Clusters with KEDA and Karpenter"

Kubernetes Autoscaling

I strongly believe that if you work with Kubernetes at all, you will enjoy this book due to the incredible experience Christian has on this field.

So, make sure to pre-order his book this weekend. You will love it.

Now, back to the usual stuff.

Enjoy.
