Cloud provider's own Arm CPUs Direct match
AWS Graviton maps to Google Axion, Google's own Arm processor, offered in the N4A (Neoverse N3) and C4A (Neoverse V2) machine series.
- The A4X GPU series also uses Arm CPUs (NVIDIA Grace), but N4A and C4A are the general-purpose Axion options.
- Check that your images and container builds include arm64 variants, as with Graviton.
