ARM is taking an important step and is moving the vast majority of its design (EDA), automation, and development workloads to Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Developing new SoC models is not an easy task and can take months, or even years, with high computational infrastructure costs. ARM now offloads core workloads to AWS, it'll use Graviton2 instances with Arm Neoverse N1 cores. ARM will be developed on ARM: sounds ironic, but it is.

ARM plans to leverage agile resource consumption in the cloud to generate significant budget savings — the ability to quickly scale workloads is ideal for development workloads that require parallel simulations and repeated test runs that are resource intensive but not sustained.

ARM calculated that moving to the cloud will reduce its data center footprint by at least 45% and reduce its computing load by 80%.

It is first move as actual control in ARM already slowly slide to NVIDIA managers (despite that things are not approved yet).

US want to use AWS cloud as hostage situation, as now it will be very hard to not approve things. Because will held 100% of all private information and design documents, having ability to just sack all actual developers and hire new ones at any moment.
