Get hands-on with multi-architecture Kubernetes. In this 1-hour code-along and live Q&A, you’ll learn how to build and deploy an app on an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster running both x86 and Arm64 nodes.
Please note we’ll provide access to sandbox environments for attendees.
Date: May 7, 2025
Time: 9 a.m. PT | 5 p.m. BST | 6 p.m. CET
Length: 45 minutes (code-along) + 15 minutes (Q&A)
What you’ll build:
- An AKS cluster with both Arm64 and x86 nodes
- Deploy multi-arch container images
- An example Go app
What you’ll learn:
- Why multi-arch matters for performance, portability, and cost
- How Kubernetes handles architecture-aware scheduling
- Best practices for building and deploying across arch types
- Tips for troubleshooting and optimizing mixed-arch environments
Who should join:
- Cloud-native developers working with containerized workloads and interested in targeting multiple CPU architectures
- DevOps engineers and platform teams deploying and managing workloads on AKS or other Kubernetes platforms
- SREs and infrastructure engineers focused on cluster efficiency, performance, and cost optimization
- Engineers building microservices who want to understand how to support both x86 and Arm64 from development through to deployment
- Teams evaluating Arm adoption for performance gains and cost savings in production environments
- Anyone curious about Kubernetes scheduling behavior in a mixed-architecture cluster
One week after the code-along, join an open Q&A with Arm engineers and Arm ambassadors. Bring your implementation questions, share what you’ve built, and explore advanced use cases, architecture tuning, and tooling options.
