Monitor your Graviton3-powered EC2 instances with Datadog

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has introduced its third generation of custom Arm-powered processors, Graviton3 EC2 instances, which promise up to 25% better performance for compute-intensive workloads compared to Graviton2. These instances can be beneficial for applications like distributed data analytics, machine learning, video encoding, gaming, and more, as they offer improved performance, cost savings, and energy efficiency. Datadog provides full visibility into AWS environments, including any Graviton3-powered instances, allowing users to compare performance between architectures and confirm that their applications perform well when moving to these new instance types. The Datadog Agent fully supports monitoring both x86 and Arm-based hosts, providing granular insights into EC2-hosted workloads. Additionally, Datadog APM enables the collection and analysis of trace data from services running on different instance types for direct comparison of request latency and other telemetry. AWS Graviton Ready designation ensures that Datadog fully supports monitoring all Graviton-powered workloads no matter where they are hosted, including EC2 instances, AWS Lambda, or AWS Fargate.
