AWS says Elastic Disaster Recovery now supports Graviton-based arm64 source servers.
The announcement describes the recovery path and where the capability is offered, but it does not establish a recovery result for any particular workload.

What changed, and what does the date mean?
AWS says Elastic Disaster Recovery (DRS) now supports disaster recovery for Graviton-based arm64 source servers. That gives teams planning recovery for Graviton workloads a support path to investigate. The distinction is between the capability AWS has announced and a recovery outcome a team has verified for its own application.
September 25, 2026 is the publication date in the AWS What's New feed. The announcement does not give a separate date when the capability became active, so the feed date should not be treated as an activation date.
AWS — AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery now supports AWS Graviton-based source servers
How does AWS describe the arm64 recovery path?
According to AWS, DRS automatically detects arm64 source servers and recovers them onto Graviton instances, preserving the workload architecture. AWS says recovery works as it does for other servers, with nothing extra to configure. That describes the announced workflow; it does not show that every application will recover successfully.
AWS says the capability is available in all AWS Regions where DRS is offered, at no additional cost. This is a statement about the added capability, not a claim that DRS itself is free or available in every AWS Region.
What remains to be verified for a recovery plan?
The announcement includes no workload-specific recovery test results or measured recovery times. “Supported by DRS” is therefore different from “verified for this application”: the announcement cannot tell a team whether its workload will recover successfully or how long recovery will take.
Before relying on the capability in a plan, check the conditions that apply to the configuration in the AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery User Guide and test recovery of the workload concerned. The announced support makes that assessment relevant; the workload test is what can establish a result for the plan.
