Assess and track your Amazon Redshift RA3 to RG modernization with CUDOS

This article explains how the CUDOS dashboard helps organizations assess and track their Amazon Redshift migration from RA3 to Graviton-based RG instances, which offer up to 2.2x faster performance and 30% lower cost per vCPU.

• CUDOS version 5.10 introduces dedicated RA3-to-RG section with three key insights: estimated monthly savings, adoption progress tracking, and realized efficiency gains
• RG instances deliver 2.2x faster performance for data warehouse workloads and 2.4x faster for data lake workloads with full feature parity
• Resource-level savings table breaks down cost opportunities by account, cluster, and purchase type for granular visibility
• 100% stacked column chart tracks instance-generation mix shift from RA3 to RG month-over-month
• Deployment uses CloudFormation in three steps: create data collection account, enable CUR 2.0 in source accounts, deploy dashboards with Amazon QuickSight
• Setup takes 15-30 minutes with first CUR data refresh appearing within 24 hours

Organizations can use CUDOS to make their Redshift modernization effort data-driven and measurable, demonstrating ROI as clusters migrate to RG.
