+To define the type of the AMI for the node group, you may explicitly define `amiType` according to your requirements, supported amiType could be found [HERE](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/main/packages/aws-cdk-lib/aws-eks/lib/managed-nodegroup.ts#L562-L565).
+
+```ts
+declare const cluster: eks.Cluster;
+
+// X86_64 based AMI managed node group
+cluster.addNodegroupCapacity('custom-node-group', {
+  instanceTypes: [new ec2.InstanceType('m5.large')], // NOTE: if amiType is x86_64-based image, the instance types here must be x86_64-based.

+  amiType: eks.NodegroupAmiType.AL2023_ARM_64_STANDARD,
+});
+```

 To define the maximum number of instances which can be simultaneously replaced in a node group during a version update you can set `maxUnavailable` or `maxUnavailablePercentage` options.
