Building The Future Of Cloud-Native Software On A Multi-Architecture Infrastructure
Cloud Native Now, Monday, October 30,2023
Over the past few years, cloud-native developers have been embracing multi-architecture infrastructures, which can run workloads on either Arm or x86 architectures. This allows workloads to run on the best hardware for the task without developers having to worry about the underlying instruction set.
This shift to multi-architecture infrastructures is driven by a number of factors, including the need for greater efficiency, cost savings and sustainability in cloud computing. This invariably has meant adding multi-architecture best practices to software development, typically by adding Arm architecture support to containers and deploying these containers on hybrid Kubernetes clusters with x86 and Arm-based nodes.
