If you want to develop for AWS you'll be safer to have a laptop with an Amazon chip, Since I mostly work on Java that runs at Amazon, I develop locally using Amazon Corretto (https://aws.amazon.com/corretto/ https://aws.amazon.com/corretto/), less for performance than for greater confidence I won't run issues between JVM differences when deploying at AWS. > Or we'll end up with 5 different laptops (unlikely) or one that connects to a remote desktop running in the appropriate cloud with the correct chip. We're already there when deploying Python with dependencies that need to be compiled from a different OS. The options that I've used so far are 1. Only using pure Python dependencies, which mostly works, and 2. Running a container locally. Thinking about the CPU you're going to be running on might make sense if you're working on native code, but it probably won't be a big deal.
