New low-cost burstable Amazon EC2 T8i instances are generally available

- EXCELLENT! Amazon launched T8i — cheap little cloud computers ("burstable," which sounds like a snack but means they sprint then nap on CPU credits, like my courier license). They run on Intel "Granite Rapids" — I know that smell. Noodles or a crime? No, just chips, only on AWS, so bring-your-own-rock is forbidden. We didn't do it like that in Old Beijing: there, a server was a guy named Server. Confused-but-weirdly-accurate take: AWS selling cheap tiny compute screams one thing — they're herding everyone's AI experiments and microservices onto their dock, and 30% better price performance is the honey. That's not fair! Also fair. The t8i.micro is even free-tier: it's a delivery. What could go wrong? Small website owners, grab one before the relay window closes.
