Switching Build Environment in AWS CodeBuild

Question

I currently have a CodeBuild project from a CDK pipeline that uses the `amazonlinux2-aarch64` image on ARM. I'm looking to switch to an Ubuntu-based image running x86_64 because the Amazon Linux images do not support the latest Node. However, when I update it in the CodeBuild console, I get this error,

```
AWS CodeBuild curated image aws/codebuild/standard:6.0 is not supported for projects with environment type ARM_CONTAINER and compute type BUILD_GENERAL1_SMALL.
```

I am assuming the `environment type ARM_CONTAINER` is the contention here, but I don't see any configuration that would allow me to change this. How do I update the image so I can switch to using the Ubuntu-based image? I checked "Edit" -> "Project configuration"/"Environment"/"Buildspec", none of them appears to have that configuration.

Answer

For anyone else stumbling upon this, it seems like the AWS console is just buggy. I ended up running this command in the Cloud Shell, which changed the compute type.

```
aws codebuild update-project --name WebsiteDeploymentCDKPipelin-bSL5HmFVh1nx --environment '{"type": "LINUX_CONTAINER", "computeType": "BUILD_GENERAL1_SMALL", "image": "aws/codebuild/standard:6.0"}'
```
