Longer story. AWS has new EC2 machines that are faster and less expensive. M6g series. But they are based on a new ARM processor https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/m6/ and to make full use of that we may want to maintain/publish/build our own containers for the platform.
This is not urgent and kinda a future wish but we are not getting any younger and the world of CPUs and hardware keeps advancing and if this means lower cost for people using Archipelago its kinda in our scope
