Amazon RDS on Graviton2 Processors

Or you know, just use a smaller RDS instance. The price difference is not 20x over an EC2 instance. It's been a while since I checked, but I remember the markup being less than 2x.

Yup, it's about 1.8x for the instance sizes I checked.

Yeah that’s only true if you aren’t using piops. It can be an order of magnitude in price difference vs i3 when you need lots of I/O.

PIOPS is the same price whether it's attached to an EC2 instance or an RDS instance.
