Amazon is known to be the largest cloud computing provider in the world. The subsidiary of the mbad market giant, Amazon Web Services (AWS), has now developed its own ARM server processor for its cloud business and expects significant cost savings.
The new AWS-ARM processor, named Graviton, was officially launched by Peter DeSantis, infrastructure manager, Amazon Web Services. The provider expects 45% cost savings on certain workloads (such as web servers).
AWS will introduce new EC2 A1 calculation engines based on this Graviton processor. The use of ARM proprietary ARM processors is designed to make superfluous the most common computer peripherals, but with high energy consumption.
AWS records growth of 46%
The activities in the infrastructure as a service (IaaS) are developing rapidly. AWS grew by 46 percent in the third quarter of 2018 (compared to 10 percent for Amazon Online Store), reports CNBC.
However, the power and server installations already require large amounts of resources in the accelerating sector. A reduction in energy consumption is above all an important factor for financial and environmental balance sheets. Amazon has long competed with Microsoft, Google, and other IT companies for cloud structures that reduce costs.
New AWS ARM Processors Currently in the US and Europe
EC2 A1 instances can run applications written for Amazon Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Ubuntu. For starters, AWS ARM server processors will be available in the eastern regions of the United States (northern Virginia and Ohio), western United States (Oregon), and Ireland.
Microsoft is not currently planning to develop custom ARM server processors, but has been collaborating for several years with market leaders such as Qualcomm on ARM-based server chips.
