    I looked into Graviton 2, ECS, and Fargate about a year ago. It works as advertised and for simple workloads it was 1/4 the price of anything I could get from Azure at the time.

    I have since consolidated my infrastructure in Azure but the Graviton 2, ECS and Fargate stuff was neat.

    The UI was A bit clunky, lots of clicks but the feature set is well thought out. Nice deployment options and exactly what I'd expect from a cloud provider.

    That is nice, but where is Graviton3? Graviton2 is two years old by now, it can hardly compete on performance and power any longer.

    I am looking for application benchmarks and details about the micro architecture.

    Any suggestions where i should look?
