Only Netgate hardware has Arm support (models 1000-3100).
Learned something new today.Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

If you want to use Graviton (arm64 on AWS) it requires a completely different instance type, you can't change it in-place that I'm aware of. It is supported on 23.09 and later, but you have to choose it when launching a new instance as described in the docs:
