My suspicion is it matters a great deal on OS stack until Microsoft supports ARM in Server. I’m sure the bsd/Linux OSes will have a much easier time transitioning. Edit-I’m seeing some articles that make it look like arm might already be usable on Windows. There’s still legacy software issues though.

In 2 to 3 cycles the OS will disappear as a variable in the deployment target. You won't know about it, you won't care about it, it won't be a dimension you think about.

  Where are you getting this POV? I’m curious to hear it further fleshed out.

    A container doesn't really care much about what runs it, as long as the runtime provides the right endpoints. A serverless environment cares even less.

      I defer to the other replies to your position. Though I’d love to stop caring about underlying OSes.
