This page outlines Cloud Code's support for deploying to Arm and mixed-architecture Google Kubernetes Engine clusters, as well as minikube clusters.
To learn more about Arm workloads, see Managing Arm workloads.
Arm and mixed-architecture support tables
Refer to the following table for support based on the workstation you're developing on:
x86 workstations
This table refers to developers using x86 workstations which are deploying to either Arm or mixed-architecture GKE clusters. All of the actions listed under Actions are supported for deployments to both Arm and mixed-architecture GKE clusters, except for locally building an Arm image using buildpacks:
| Actions | Arm GKE cluster | Mixed-architecture GKE cluster |
|---|---|---|
| Use Cloud Code to locally build an Arm image using Jib | ||
| Use Cloud Code to locally build an Arm image using Dockerfiles | ||
| Use Cloud Code to locally build an Arm image using buildpacks | ||
| Deploy your Arm image without manual intervention and run or debug your application |
