Congratulations AWS, now your only competition in the "public cloud arm64" space died. F.
As much as I don't like the Awful Bezos Monopoly and their bandwidth pricing and stuff, the Graviton has been excellent and now the super-fast Graviton2 is coming.
While Scaleway couldn't unbreak something as basic as booting a local EFI file instead of iPXE for months [1] AWS employees have been sending patches to upstream OSes [2] so it's pretty obvious which provider is serious about ARM. Hopefully there will be more than one. HuaweiCloud should put the Kunpeng instances in the international regions. Maybe Microsoft Azure will eventually do it too? (They've been using ARM internally..)
