NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today.

Trial
Worth pursuing. It is important to understand how to build up this capability. Enterprises should try this technology on a project that can handle the risk.
Arm compute instances in the cloud have become increasingly popular over the past few years due to their cost and energy efficiency compared to traditional x86-based instances. Many cloud providers now offer Arm-based instances, including AWS, Azure and GCP. The cost benefits of running Arm in the cloud can be particularly beneficial for businesses that run large workloads or need to scale. Based on our experiences we recommend Arm compute instances for all workloads unless there are architecture-specific dependencies. The tooling to support multiple architectures, like multi-arch docker images, also simplify build and deploy workflows.
