# AWS Graviton-based instance recommendations


When viewing Amazon EC2 instance, EC2 Auto Scaling group, and Aurora and RDS database recommendations, you can view the price and performance impact of running your workload on AWS Graviton-based instances. 

**To view recommendations for AWS Graviton-based instances**

1. Open the Compute Optimizer console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/compute-optimizer/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/compute-optimizer/).

1. Choose **EC2 instances**, **EC2 Auto Scaling groups**, or **RDS databases** in the navigation pane.

1. On the recommendation page of the resource that you selected, choose **Graviton (aws-arm64)** in the **CPU architecture preference** dropdown.

1. (Optional) Otherwise, choose **Current** to view recommendations that are based on the same CPU vendor and architecture as the current instance. 

**Note**  
The **Current price**, **Recommended price**, **Price difference**, **Price difference (%)**, and **Estimated monthly savings** columns are updated to provide a price comparison between the current instance type and the instance type of the selected CPU architecture preference. For example, if you choose **Graviton (aws-arm64)**, prices are compared between the current instance type and the recommended Graviton-based instance type.
