Issue # 44: June 30th, 2023 to July 7th, 2023
[Read the browser version right here]
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.
