Executive Engineering Summary & Takeaways
- Migrating from x86 compute to AWS Graviton (ARM64) delivers an immediate 20% to 40% price-performance gain.
- Deploying Karpenter with Spot instance diversification slashes non-critical worker node costs by up to 80%.
- Configuring S3 Intelligent-Tiering and eliminating idle NAT Gateways removes thousands in hidden monthly egress bloat.
1. Root Causes of Enterprise Cloud Bill Bloat
Transitioning workloads to containerized bin-packing and modern ARM-based Graviton3 instances slashes infrastructure spend by 50% to 75% without compromising response latencies.
