Your next AWS instance might be ARM. I'll have to test my specific workload, but for 40% more compute-per-dollar I'm interested.

  If i'm remembering the previous ARM announcements correctly, you probably already have an ARM instance somewhere in your stack - they were going to be transitioning a lot of stuff like ELBs over to these processors.

    Sensible; if the price/perf ratio is good then AWS would be kinda dumb not to move all their internal stuff to use it. And they control the whole stack and don't expose internals to users for their own services (ELBs, Route 53, probably RDS, etc), so it should be relatively straightforward from an engineering perspective.

    Yes they intend to transit all of their Services, as well as SaaS on top of their ARM instances. Although they said this is going to take up to 5 years or more ( usual downplay from Amazon as with everything they do ), I bet they have a much more aggressive schedule.
