Adopt AWS Graviton2 instances for best price-performance in EC2
summary
AWS Graviton2-based EC2 instances claim up to 40% better price-performance versus comparable x86 sizes and about 20% lower cost per size, with SPEC results showing ~44% integer and 24% floating-point gains and a Memcached test showing ~43% higher throughput and lower latency. Managed services report gains (ElastiCache ~45% price-performance, RDS up to 40% perf / 52% price-performance, EMR ~35% cost savings). Migration notes: M6g/C6g/R6g/T4g/C6gn families, 3.5x performance per watt, use ARM64 AMIs, upgrade runtimes (Go 1.16, PHP 7.4/8), and rebuild containers as ARM64 / enable multi-arch images.
