Best practices for monitoring cloud costs with Datadog Scorecards

Datadog successfully migrated its entire Kubernetes fleet running on AWS to AWS Graviton3 processors (Arm-based) without service disruption. This move significantly improved performance – seeing up to 30% better price/performance – and reduced their carbon footprint, demonstrating the viability of Arm for large-scale, production workloads. The migration involved rigorous testing, careful planning, and leveraging Datadog's own monitoring tools to ensure a smooth transition.
