Building a zero-waste compute infrastructure on
summary
Explains concrete steps and measured outcomes for cutting cloud waste: use the Compute Optimizer and CloudWatch to right‑size instances (customers see ~25% instance savings), enable the Carbon Footprint tool to track emissions, combine Spot instances (up to 90% off; Skyscanner 74%, Illumina 75%) with savings plans to lower idle capacity, and switch to Graviton/Graviton2 CPUs (≈20% lower cost, up to 40% better price‑performance; RDS Graviton2 shows 35% higher perf and 52% better price‑performance). Concrete customer results and percentages are shown.
