In today's cloud computing landscape, cost optimization plays a crucial role in maximizing the value of your infrastructure. Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a range of services to help users achieve cost efficiency, and one such option is leveraging Graviton processors for Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service). You can save up to 10% in RDS compute costs by switching from x86 to Graviton processors. We cover the advantages and things to consider on this post, and how Stream.Security can help determine where you can make this switch.
