# AWS Graviton-based instance recommendations
<a name="graviton-recommendations"></a>

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.
