Yieldbird goes green. Small changes, big impact!

As a technology company, Yieldbird is constantly looking for ways to optimize our solutions. As part of this effort, we have decided to migrate our computing environments to instances powered by AWS Graviton processors. This is a step towards a more efficient and sustainable cloud infrastructure.

What are AWS Graviton Processors?

AWS Graviton is a family of processors designed by Amazon Web Services (AWS) based on the ARM architecture. They are optimized for performance and energy efficiency, offering a better price-to-performance ratio compared to traditional x86 processors. EC2 instances powered by Graviton support a wide range of workloads, including application servers, microservices, open-source databases, and high-performance computing (HPC).

Why AWS Graviton is an Eco-Friendly Choice

Migrating to instances powered by AWS Graviton is not just an economic advantage – it’s also a step towards sustainability. These instances consume up to 60% less energy than comparable x86-based EC2 instances while delivering the same performance. By doing so, we contribute to reducing our carbon footprint and support environmental protection goals.

Benefits of Migrating to AWS Graviton

• Energy Efficiency: Energy savings translate into lower resource use and reduced CO₂ emissions.
• Cost Optimization: Graviton instances are more cost-effective than traditional instances, helping reduce operational expenses.
• Performance: Graviton offers a better price-to-performance ratio, resulting in faster and more efficient application performance.
• Support for Sustainability: Migration supports goals of emission reduction and energy efficiency.

Conclusion

Migrating to AWS Graviton-powered instances is a step for Yieldbird towards a more efficient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly cloud infrastructure. This decision not only enhances the performance of our solutions but also contributes to environmental protection. We are proud to be part of this innovation and encourage others to consider similar steps toward sustainable development.
