Most applications built on Linux utilizing open-source software can run on multiple processor architectures and are well suited for Graviton2-powered Fargate. Developers can build Arm-compatible applications or leverage multi-architecture container images in Amazon ECR to run on Graviton2-powered Fargate. Fargate takes care of the scaling, patching, securing, and managing servers so customers can focus on building applications. Customers simply specify the CPU architecture type as ARM64 in their Amazon ECS Task Definition to target Graviton2-powered Fargate for achieving better price/performance for their applications.
