Hey Reader.
Welcome to Issue # 49 of AWS Graviton Weekly, which will be focused on sharing everything that happened in the past week related to AWS Silicon: from August 4th, 2023 to August 11th, 2023.
In this issue, you will find:
- EC2 Inf2 instances, optimized for generative AI are now available in US West (Oregon) region
- the announcement of Mountpoint for Amazon S3
- the full live stream of AWS Storage Day 2023
- and at the final of the email you will find which company has more than half of Arm servers CPUs
But first, I wanted to give a shout-out to two fellow creators in the space, focused as well on Amazon Web Services: Karl Robinson and Johnathan Goodall (co-founders of Logicata) who have an exciting combo of newsletter + podcast where they keep people informed as well the last announcements from AWS.
They have a very interesting format to share the news, so I encourage you to follow them on LinkedIn.
This week was AWS Storage Day 2023. So, the majority of announcements this week were related to Storage.
Now, back to business.
