5/ Another tweak? Cassandra on Graviton2.

This post from Arm can help you to understand the benefits behind it https://community.arm.com/arm-community-blogs/b/tools-software-ides-blog/posts/increase-price_2d00_performance-by-deploying-cassandra-on-aws-graviton2

4/ Let's talk about EBS now: work with my good friend Cristian Măgherușan-Stanciu to save even more with his tools:
- EBS Optimizer: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-ryzl67mmq3ghk

- AutoSpotting: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-6uj4pruhgmun6

He is a former AWS employee, so he is much better than me at this. :)

#aws #awsgraviton #awsgravitonweekly

3/ Now, let's continue with ElasticSearch.

My recommendation? Move to OpenSearch on Graviton2 https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/improved-performance-with-aws-graviton2-instances-on-amazon-opensearch-service/

#aws #awsgraviton #awsgravitonweekly

2/ Now, more about Ruby especially: there are some performance improvements for arm64: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2022/12/25/ruby-3-2-0-released/

"YJIT now supports both x86-64 and arm64/aarch64 CPUs on Linux, MacOS, BSD and other UNIX platforms.
This release brings support for Apple M1/M2, AWS Graviton"

#aws #awsgraviton #awsgravitonweekly

1/ Let's start with EC2:

I know they are a Ruby shop.
So: just migrating from x86 to arm64 could help them to save BIG.

This 🧵 on Twitter has a lot of great advice here about running Ruby on Graviton https://twitter.com/nateberkopec/status/1433461218170265613

and there are more tips here https://github.com/aws/aws-graviton-getting-started

#awsgraviton #awsgravitonweekly

I'm reading this post from ConvertKit about AWS bills in 2022 https://convertkit.engineering/2023/01/31/aws-2022-year-in-review/

it's very accurate, but with a couple of tweaks, I believe they could save a little more without losing performance.

The keys?
- AWS Graviton
- EBS gpt3
- Cassandra on arm64
- OpenSearch on Graviton
- Ruby on arm64
