> to their own Graviton For open source software loads. If you're running licensed software in the cloud you don't often get to make this choice.

  Would you mind expanding on this? Why would I not be able to run Oracle or SQL server on Graviton? Than you !

    There are no ARM builds of Microsoft SQL Server. Even if Microsoft does release such as thing, enterprise software lives in an ecosystem of thousands of third-party vendors that provide components that are often co-installed on the same box. Also, products like MSSQL are licensed per CPU core, so you want the fastest possible cores, not the cheapest. Currently that's the AMD EPYC X86-compatible CPUs, which run rings around everything else.

    The examples you gave are commonly available proprietary software, but it’s really the long tail of low volume software where the author will only support really specific configurations

    Oracle charge per core; whilst Graviton has a lot of advantages, you can get a bit more out of a single amd64 core. SQL server doesn't even release for ARM AFAIK.
