I guess the big news this week is the r8g instance type from AWS. If you’re already able to run on ARM its worth a look. If you still can’t run on ARM maybe it may well be time to start looking into making your code CPU agnostic.
It was of course race week too with the Porsche Club championship taking place but sadly HMx Labs and Khanage Racing had to sit this one out with the car still being repaired.
