What are you responding to here?

No, I said you won’t always be deploying on amd64. Because arm64 is now the cheapest option and generally faster than the sandy bridge vcpu unit that amd64 instances are indexed against (and really, constrained to, intentionally, by AWS).

I never said anything about graviton not being arm64.

Its not about price, its about compatibility. Just because software compiles in a different ISA doesnt mean it behaves the same way. But if that isn't obvious to you, good for you.
