Without good support for at least the following:

- kubernetes
- go
- rust
- python
- node
- .net core
- java
- C/C++
It won't catch on... Not being able to buy one of these systems also has the issue of platform developers coming up short in terms of adapting tooling for the above list.
- jonathannorris 7y agoA lot more of those things work than you might expect. I was able to get a very large node app working on their ARM instances very quickly... Docker support is also there from as far I know.
- BinaryArcher 7y agoIt supports all of the above. In AWS there is one extra step to deploy it than an Intel cluster. And that's only because it is in preview.
- tracker1 7y agoI wasn't indicating that any of them didn't work... I frankly didn't know... Only pointing out the most widely used software platforms.
- cesarb 7y agoWhat's required for all these to be supported is just developers being able to buy 64-bit ARMv8 processors running a standard 64-bit Linux kernel, not necessarily the exact same processor Amazon has. And the Raspberry Pi 3B is an inexpensive 64-bit ARMv8 processor which can run a standard 64-bit Linux kernel. Sure, it's ARMv8.0 instead of ARMv8.2, but as mentioned in the article software compiled for ARMv8.0 works fine on ARMv8.2.
- tracker1 7y agoOkay, I wasn't aware of that... all the same, would be nice to be able to actually buy one to work against. The list of supported platforms and being able to develop (near-locally) are what are really needed. Haven't really looked into it... it's on my todo list to look at cross-platform builds to target Raspberry Pi devices, will probably setup containerized cross platform builds for at least node, rust and .net core for my own use.
