AWS sells Graviton 3 based EC2 instances at a higher price than Graviton 2 based instances!&lt;p&gt;For example a c6g.large instance (powered by Graviton 2) costs $0.068&amp;#x2F;hour in us-east-1, while a c7g.large instance (powered by Graviton 3) costs $0.0725&amp;#x2F;hour [1]. Both instances have the same core count and memory, although c7g instances have slightly better network throughput.&lt;p&gt;I believe that is pretty unusual as, if my memory serves me right, newer instances family generations are usually cheaper than the previous generation.&lt;p&gt;[1]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;aws.amazon.com&amp;#x2F;ec2&amp;#x2F;pricing&amp;#x2F;on-demand&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;aws.amazon.com&amp;#x2F;ec2&amp;#x2F;pricing&amp;#x2F;on-demand&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

I am not saying I have a solution, just that feeling.</text></comment>
