> and they go blue primarily because of the discounts, would the pricing end up being slightly smaller than otherwise? I don't know about the others, but AWS already has different prices for ec2 for AMD vs Intel vs ARM. It's not a case of "going blue", they'll support anything that people will pay them for. Pricing tends to be dictated more by power usage than by hardware cost. For non-directly-ec2 backed services (like ECS and s3, as opposed to say RDS) I'd guess they'd go all in on ARM regardless for the power savings.
