Graviton in 2026: the migration target moved to m8g, c8g, r8g
· 4 min read
Short version: AWS Graviton is still about 20% cheaper than equivalent x86 and up to 40% better price/performance, and for most workloads it is a one-line instance-type swap. The thing that changed in 2026 is the target. Graviton4 (m8g, c8g, r8g) is now the current generation, up to 30% faster than Graviton3. If your last migration stopped at m6g or m7g, this is the update.
