Hey Reader.

Welcome to Issue # 46 of AWS Graviton Weekly, which will be focused on sharing everything that happened in the past week related to AWS Silicon: from July 14th, 2023 to July 21st, 2023

In this issue, you will learn:

• how to measure the performance on Graviton instances
• ​that AWS Batch on AWS Fargate now supports Linux ARM64 and Windows x86 containers in CLI/SDK
• ​how to use Llama 2 foundation models from Meta on Amazon SageMaker JumpStart
• how to build an entire Machine Learning Lifecycle with Anaconda Distribution on AWS Graviton
• and don't miss episode # 605 of AWS Podcast. It's incredible

and much more.

But before I start sharing everything related to the AWS Silicon universe, I wanted to give a big shoutout to other fellow technical newsletters operators:

• ​Tobias Schmidt and Sandro Volpicella, the authors of AWS Fundamentals book and writers of the newsletter with the same name
• and Matic Zupančič of M365 Weekly, a weekly newsletter focused on the last trends, news, and resources related to Microsoft 365

Thanks, Tobias, Sandro, and Matic for the inspiration to keep sharing great stuff. Keep raising the bar !!!
