With Graviton processors gaining adoption for their cost and performance benefits, AWS DRS now automatically recognizes arm64 source servers and recovers them onto compatible Graviton instances. This end-to-end architecture preservation simplifies disaster recovery for users migrating or operating heterogeneous environments.

Recovery processes remain consistent with those for x86 servers, requiring no additional configuration by the user. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where AWS DRS is offered and incurs no extra cost, broadening resilience options for modern container, application, and cloud-native workloads.
