Platform/SRE — Plan: New GA ECS capability lets you right-size GPU containers (1/8, 1/4, or 1/2 of an L4 GPU) on G6f instances, with CloudWatch GPU metrics and automatic health monitoring included. Evaluate this quarter if you run ECS-based AI inference or rendering workloads where full-GPU allocation is wasteful.

Leader — Learn: Fractional GPU scheduling in ECS reduces the cost floor for small-model inference and GPU experimentation workloads; worth factoring into GPU cost optimization reviews if the org runs AI workloads on ECS.
