- Hamuko 7y agoIs it just me or are those ARM instances rather expensive compared to other EC2 options?
- Twirrim 7y agoIt's the first generation of the hardware. I'd imagine the costs will start to come down over time as they ramp up the supply chains.
- viraptor 7y agoIt's the price for a not-very-specific vcpu. Your performance could be better on the A family, more than offsetting the price difference. Of you're really considering the choice - you should test your workload on both. Or maybe they save you time in a different way - for example you save time not having to run a virtualised linker after cross-compiling.
- Abishek_Muthian 7y agoOther providers like scaleway has been offering ARM servers for a while now[1]. [1]:https://www.scaleway.com/en/virtual-instances/arm-instances/ https://www.scaleway.com/en/virtual-instances/arm-instances/
- edude03 7y ago* arm instances for Lambda workloads. Do you know if you can choose your architecture when deploying a function? I'd be curious to see the performance of node on x86 vs aarch64
