How to set with aws CLI?

The aws CLI answer:

aws codebuild update-project --name user-api-production --environment '{"type": "ARM_CONTAINER", "computeType": "BUILD_GENERAL1_SMALL", "image": "aws/codebuild/amazonlinux2-aarch64-standard:2.0"}'

CodePudding user response：

To use arm1.small in codebuild, you need to set the instance to BUILD_GENERAL1_SMALL (which is what you currently have selected in the console). In addition to this, you also need to set the environment type to ARM_CONTAINER. The environment type is what determines if it's x86 Linux, Windows, or ARM Linux.

In order to use the ARM type compute types, you have to select a custom build image in CodeBuild:

This will allow to select ARM build environments. You also can chose between the compute and memory options in the additional configurations:

Now, if you selected a build image which is not managed by AWS, you will have to create you own Docker container used for build environment. AWS provides step-by-step instructions on how to do that: source.
