Graviton Savings Dashboard: Simplifying Graviton Adoption and Unlocking Cost Savings

Introduction

  • Customers can feel overwhelmed when it comes to navigating the complexities of Graviton adoption.
  • The presenters, Rosa Corley and Raji Guptan, are here to unveil a solution that will help simplify the Graviton adoption process and unlock significant cost savings.

AWS Graviton Overview

  • AWS Graviton is a custom-designed processor made for Amazon EC2, offering up to 40% better price-performance and up to 60% less energy consumption.
  • Despite these benefits, Graviton adoption can be challenging, which is why the presenters have developed a new tool: the AWS Graviton Savings Dashboard.

The AWS Graviton Savings Dashboard

Purpose

  • The dashboard serves two key purposes:
    1. Provides insights into your current Graviton usage.
    2. Identifies savings opportunities for Amazon EC2, RDS, ElastiCache, and OpenSearch.

Data Sources and Architecture

  • The dashboard utilizes three data sources:
    1. AWS Cost and Usage Report
    2. AWS SDK
    3. Pricing file
  • The data is processed using Amazon S3, Amazon Athena, and Amazon QuickSight to provide the interactive dashboard.
  • The architecture is highly scalable and fully automated, handling data from multiple payers across multiple regions and linked accounts.

Deployment

  • To deploy the dashboard, you need the AWS Cost and Usage Report and the Optimization Data Collector Lab with the Inventory module.
  • The deployment process involves three steps:
    1. Upgrade pip (Python's package manager).
    2. Deploy the CID CMD tool.
    3. Deploy the dashboard using the CID CMD deploy command.
