Is there any easy way to migrate from aws x64 to arm arch? like without configuring a new arm based server and installing packages and file? it is currently running with Amazon linux AMI, we wish to change it to Amazon linux AMI 2.

I just wanna know if there is some tool/method to proceed with this.

  • I dont get what you are trying to do if you want you create an AMI and launch a new instance using it or take a snapshot question was not really clear to be honest – Abhijith Oct 06 '20 at 07:06
  • I have a t3 x64 machine with Amazon linux 1 . I want to upgrade that to a t4g ARM. What i want to know is, whether there is some way to Upgrade from t3 x64 -> t4g ARM, without having to setup everything manually. does that help? – Ruben John Oct 06 '20 at 07:54

You can't do that. X86 code doesn't run natively on ARM, nor vice versa. You must create a new instance and migrate any data you wish to migrate.
