Hey Reader.

Welcome to Issue # 44 of AWS Graviton Weekly, which will be focused on sharing everything that happened in the past week related to AWS Silicon: from June 30th, 2023 to July 7th, 2023

In this issue, you will find:

• A very interesting tutorial to analyze the different Hpc7 instances
• A podcast episode discussing the same type of instances: Hpc7
• 3 upcoming events related to AWS Graviton
• 2 incredible conversations with the Arm team: one with Ampere Computing, and the second one between them discussing the new Arm's Learning Hub

BTW: thanks to great feedback from a fellow newsletter operator (Thanks Jamie of Minimalist Hustler), I want to try a new format in this issue, with less text and more focus on sharing the links.

In that way, we can have a balance between providing great information more directly

I'm also working on a blog to companion all the content I share here, and there I will provide more depth, but the emails will be more straightforward(I hope).

If you have feedback about it, I would love to hear it.
