Since containers are fully self-contained, self-sufficient and isolated from each other, they can coexist peacefully and run alongside each other in a mixed setup in AWS ECS/Fargate clusters. And they do. AWS Lambda also supports aarch64, and the degree of isolation for the lambdas is even higher and they can also run out of a x86 or an aarch64 Docker image (if required), and 30-40% cheaper with performance loss incurred for the workloads I am interested in.
