Multi-Arch Workloads On Hosted Control Planes On AWS
Red Hat News, Wednesday, January 31st, 2024
How would you like to save costs on operating your application services and workloads in Amazon Web Services (AWS)?
Starting with Red Hat OpenShift 4.14, hosted control planes on AWS (available as a technology preview) can now schedule application workloads (also called NodePools) on two different CPU architectures, 64-bit Arm and 64-bit x86, from the same hosted control plane (you can't mix CPU architectures within the same NodePool, and each NodePool only contains nodes of one CPU architecture type).
This article examines the installation and benefits of a hosted control plane, and creating multi-architecture workloads on that Hosted Control Plane in AWS.
