But then it's not the same container, right? Either you'd need to switch your whole cloud infrastructure to run on ARM (which I see is possible now, and I'd be curious to hear if people have done that successfully) or we're back to "works on my machine ^W architecture".
- inkyoto 4y ago> Either you'd need to switch your whole cloud infrastructure to run on ARM … Nope, the whole cloud infrastructure does not need to switch. Since containers are fully self-contained, self-sufficient and isolated from each other, they can coexist peacefully and run alongside each other in a mixed setup in AWS ECS/Fargate clusters. And they do. AWS Lambda also supports aarch64, and the degree of isolation for the lambdas is even higher and they can also run out of a x86 or an aarch64 Docker image (if required), and 30-40% cheaper with performance loss incurred for the workloads I am interested in.
