Looking to cut my AWS deploy costs down by switch from AMD/64 to ARM/64 container deployments. Anyone done that before? I mean I can build the containers but as I go through testing I was just wondering if anyone already had some nuggets to share : ) I am hoping this will also allow me to deploy containers to Raspberry Pi as well.
Just an update… that was pretty painless. Basically from docker build to docker build --platform linux/arm64 on my Windows machine. Since I was using AWS EC2 + Fargate, I also had to update the task to use the arm64. Now my containers are running on arm and a quick check in cost explorer and indeed my Elastic container service daily c ost went down 20%. Now I just need to manage my Elastic Load Balancing & CloudWatch. That ELB cost is my highest and I am not sure I really need it.
I know how you feel. I went from ec2 to aws lightsail with nginx. Much cheaper and easier to handle.
