&quot;On AWS, switching to ARM instances can be an effective low-cost way to reduce significant costs. Hence we carefully migrated to arm64 (ensuring all dependencies are compatible), which resulted in better cost and faster performance.&quot;<p>This is not shocking at all.<p>My question is this: Did you look at your total spend and price out Systems admin&#x27;s, rack space, hardware, and bandwidth as well? The moment your annual AWS passes 500k it makes sense to shop around.

Just a caveat: gp3 vs gp2 doesn’t have the same automatic 20% cheaper per GB perk on RDS that it does on EBS.
