Cloud Digest — February 2026

AWS: Graviton4 Gets a 12% Price Reduction Amazon quietly reduced Graviton4 instance pricing across all regions. Combined with the existing 20–30% price-performance advantage over x86 equivalents, this makes the migration case compelling for any compute-heavy workload still running on Intel or AMD. If you haven't run a

Cloud Digest — January 2026

Terraform 2.0: Three Breaking Changes to Know HashiCorp shipped Terraform 2.0 with three breaking changes affecting most production setups: pre-0.12 state files are no longer supported, count and for_each no longer accept null values, and provider constraints now require explicit minimum versions. Run terraform validate across

Migrating 40 Microservices to EKS in 8 Weeks Without Downtime

The Situation A fintech company had 40 microservices running on EC2 instances managed by a patchwork of Ansible playbooks and shell scripts. Their CTO had committed to investors that the platform would be fully containerised on Kubernetes before the next funding round closed — 10 weeks away. Two weeks of internal

How We Reduced AWS Costs by 62% for a B2B SaaS Platform

The Situation A Series B SaaS company came to us with a straightforward problem: their AWS bill had grown from $18k/month to $51k/month over 18 months, while their customer count had grown only 3×. The cost curve had decoupled from growth, and they needed to understand why — and

Route S3 and DynamoDB Traffic Through VPC Endpoints — It's Free

Any traffic from a private subnet to S3 or DynamoDB that routes through a NAT Gateway costs $0.045 per GB in NAT data processing fees — on top of the NAT Gateway hourly charge. VPC Gateway Endpoints bypass the NAT Gateway entirely and carry no data processing fee. The Maths

Always Set Resource Requests and Limits on Every Kubernetes Pod

Kubernetes uses resource requests to schedule Pods and limits to cap runtime consumption. Omitting either creates operational problems that are nearly impossible to debug under load. Requests vs Limits * Request — Reserved capacity the scheduler uses to find a suitable node. A Pod won't be placed unless a node

Use Spot Instances to Cut Batch Workload Costs by Up to 70%

Spot Instances use spare EC2 capacity auctioned at discounts of up to 90% versus On-Demand pricing. AWS can reclaim them with a two-minute warning, making them ideal for workloads that can tolerate interruption. When to Use Spot * Data processing and ETL pipelines * Machine learning training jobs * CI/CD build agents

Service Mesh

A service mesh intercepts all network traffic between microservices and manages cross-cutting concerns — encryption, retries, circuit breaking, distributed tracing — transparently, without requiring changes to application code. The Sidecar Pattern Most service meshes inject a lightweight proxy (typically Envoy) as a sidecar container alongside every service Pod. All inbound and outbound

FinOps

FinOps (Financial Operations) is the discipline of applying financial accountability to the on-demand, variable-cost nature of cloud infrastructure. It combines culture, process, and tooling to ensure that cloud investment is visible, measured, and optimised continuously. The FinOps Lifecycle * Inform — Achieve full visibility: resource tagging, cost attribution, real-time dashboards, showback and
