Estimate your Graviton ROI for improved price performance & sustainability
summary
Graviton2 plus Nitro SSD claims up to 40% better price performance and 60% lower IO latency for storage‑optimized EC2 (Im4gn, Is4gen); Splunk moves some workloads and finds an optimistic 50% vCPU reduction yields ~42% cost savings while achieving equal latency, and Graviton2 shows up to 3.5× performance-per-watt. Best practice is to run customer‑representative performance tests, use the Graviton Getting Started Guide and performance whitepaper, watch for library issues (jemalloc caused a 10× memory spike until upgraded and patched), and tune atomics/compilers.
