So you're never going to consider moving to another architecture because your software (currently) doesn't run on it? So Amazon made a huge mistake with Gravit

So you're never going to consider moving to another architecture because your software (currently) doesn't run on it?
So Amazon made a huge mistake with Graviton then? Last time I checked Amazon 'specify, buy, and operate servers at scale'.
- waynesonfire 6y agoI don't know if it's a mistake, the competition is welcome. I spun up some arm servers because they were lower cost but then ended up having to worry about software availability issues. It's non-trivial and I don't think it was worth the savings at this time and went back to x86. Regardless, the claim that there is no value in Intel let alone x86 is a stretch.
- SlipperySlope 6y agoLike many developers, I will be trialing my software stack on Graviton2 instances at AWS next year, in hopes of saving 20-40% costs. The stack should all work on ARM: Ubuntu (check), Java (check), MySQL (check), Grafana (check), Kafka (check).
