AWS Graviton Instances: 40% Better Price-Performance & Cost Savings Guide 2026

Image
Cloud cost optimization is now a board-level priority. In 2026, organizations running Kubernetes on AWS are aggressively shifting from traditional x86-based workloads to ARM-based AWS Graviton processors to unlock massive savings—without sacrificing performance. With the launch of Graviton5 , companies can now achieve: Up to 40% better price-performance vs x86 20–45% reduction in compute costs Higher throughput and lower latency for microservices Better autoscaling efficiency when combined with Karpenter Improved sustainability with lower energy consumption This guide explains everything you need to know to migrate Amazon EKS workloads to Graviton using Karpenter and maximize cost savings safely. What Are AWS Graviton Instances? AWS Graviton instances are ARM-based EC2 instances purpose-built by AWS to deliver better cost efficiency than legacy x86 processors. They are designed specifically for cloud-native workloads , including: Kubernetes microservices Containers & CI/CD worklo...

AWS Graviton5 & M9g Instances: Migrate & Unlock 40% Better Price-Performance in 2026

Image
AWS has officially announced the fifth generation of its custom silicon, the Graviton5 processor , alongside the preview of the new general-purpose M9g EC2 instances . This release marks a significant leap in cloud compute efficiency, introducing the ground-breaking Nitro Isolation Engine and delivering massive performance gains over previous generations. Key Announcements 1. Unmatched Performance & Specs According to AWS, the new Graviton5 chip is a powerhouse designed for the most demanding modern workloads. Performance Gains: Delivers up to 25% higher performance than Graviton4. Core Density: The M9g instances provide up to 192 CPU cores per instance. This high density reduces inter-core latency by 33% and significantly increases bandwidth. Memory & Cache: 5x larger L3 cache than Graviton4 (giving each core 2.6x more cache). Higher memory speeds to support large, data-intensive workloads. Throughput: 15% higher average network bandwidth. 20% higher EBS bandwidth. Su...
