AWS has developed a new networking technology that is up to 40% more energy efficient and cost-effective, which is now the default in most new data center builds. Despite these savings, AWS has retained most of the cost benefits rather than passing them on to customers, while keeping prices stable on existing instance SKUs.

AWS's quiet but significant network tech improvement signals pressure on cloud infrastructure founders to innovate cost efficiency or face margin compression. You must explore cost-saving hardware or software innovations since AWS is unlikely to pass savings to your customers.
