The A1 (graviton1) instance type was introduced in 2018 and it's not available anymore for purchase, but I don't think they've forced anyone to migrate. Customers will want to migrate anyway because the newest types offer much better performance and pricing. At which point AWS may decide there's no demand for new instances of that type and just remove it from the API.

Well sure, you can remove the digital asset from the API and it's completely gone, but what are they doing with the physical asset?

Selling them? Running other services on them? Just keeping them in reserve? Or all turned into e-waste?

E-waste as customers migrate. I’ve never seen a physical Graviton for sale.
