Faster, cheaper, greener—Graviton isn’t the future. It’s the now
Migrating to AWS Graviton instances can cut your compute costs by up to 40%—and improve performance while lowering your carbon footprint. But getting there? That’s where most companies stall.
At Hykell, we don’t just support Graviton—we specialize in it. Our migration acceleration program helps you move fast, unlock stacked savings, and realize the full performance promise of AWS’s Arm-based processors.
What Is AWS Graviton?
Graviton is AWS’s custom silicon: a line of Arm-based processors purpose-built for the cloud. Graviton2 and Graviton3 instances offer:
- Up to 40% better price-performance over comparable x86 instances
- Lower power consumption and higher energy efficiency
- Improved compute density for scale-heavy workloads
- Broad support across EC2, RDS, Lambda, ECS, and EKS
They’re ideal for modern workloads—containers, microservices, web apps, data processing, even gaming backends.
Why It Matters
Adopting Graviton isn’t just about saving money (though, yes—there’s a lot of that). It’s about future-proofing your infrastructure:
- Better economics: Lower baseline costs plus Graviton-specific discounts
- Sustainability gains: Meet ESG goals with greener compute
- Performance edge: Faster throughput, lower latency
- Cloud-native alignment: More AWS services are now optimized for Graviton
The kicker? With Hykell, those savings stack on top of your existing Reserved Instances and Savings Plans.
How We Accelerate Migration
We’ve built a guided, data-backed process to take the risk and guesswork out of Graviton migration:
- Workload Compatibility Assessment
We scan your environment to identify which workloads are Graviton-ready, which need tuning, and where the biggest payoffs lie. - Performance Benchmarking
We test Graviton equivalents for your current instances and provide side-by-side comparisons. - Migration Planning
We help you design a phased migration strategy—targeting low-risk wins first, then scaling out. - Automated Infra Changes
Where possible, we automate instance type conversion across your fleets using safe rollout rules and rollback protection. - Stacked Optimization
We layer Graviton savings on top of commitment-based rate optimization—maximizing ESR while modernizing your stack. - Live Monitoring & Reporting
Post-migration, your dashboard shows Graviton adoption rates, savings impact, and performance metrics in real time.
Who Should Use Graviton?
Graviton is a perfect fit for:
- EC2-heavy environments running web servers, containers, Java, Go, or Python apps
- Bursting or autoscaling workloads that benefit from price-performance elasticity
- Greenfield projects where Arm-native design is feasible
- SaaS providers and gaming platforms looking to lower unit economics at scale
- FinOps-conscious teams aiming for aggressive cost reduction without rearchitecting everything
Don’t leave 40% savings on the table.
