Graviton with Nitro 4 has been quite pleasant to use, with the rust aarch64 musl static target and rust-lld I can build monolith ELFs that work not just on my android via `adb push` and `adb shell` but also on AWS.
AWS with Nitro v3+ iirc supports TPM, meaning I can attest my VM state via an Amazon CA. I know ARM has been working a lot with Rust, and it shows - binfmt with qemu-user mean I often forget which architecture I'm building/running/testing as the binaries seem to work the same everywhere.

Wouldn't the business impact always be performance per dollar from client perspective? This reads like a document that's meant to convince AWS management to invest in the new chip, focusing on how it's maximally flexible for sale, not a document to convince customers to use it ...

Can someone please confirm, is the Graviton an ARM-based CPU or something different? The page mentioned ARM, but I was still a little confused. Are we able to launch a Debian/Fedora using the CPU, or is meant for something different?
