Graviton CPU Variant for HPC | Gestalt IT Rundown: November 30, 2022

Graviton 3E is finally here. What does that mean? It's a CPU that is designed to accelerate floating point and vector math. That may not sound exciting to you but for high performance computing environments that's exactly what the doctor ordered. This custom unit is going to be aimed at giants that are looking to eake out the last drop of performance from those life sciences models. At the same time, Amazon introduced the Nitro version 5, the latest in their groundbreaking DPU family.

Amazon has finally realized that there is a world outside of Seattle. AWS announced a new Digital Sovereignty Pledge this week. The goal? To build out controls and features in AWS that provide ways for customers to have full control over their data and how it is handled and secured. The pledge is a statement that AWS is going to provide existing tools and develop new ones to ensure companeis are in compliance with laws regulating how data is transported and utilized. The European Union especially has been very hot to get sovereignty controls in place with the relative ease of portability of applications in the cloud.
