By default, Skaffold automatically detects your target cluster's architecture and builds an image that matches your workstation's architecture, even if your target cluster's architecture is mixed (both x86 and Arm).
You also have the option to add a parameter in your
skaffold.yaml file that specifies what platform to build for, which overrides
Skaffold's automatic detection.
Specify the platform to build images for
If you want to override Skaffold's automatic detection when building your image,
you can specify the platform that you want to build images for in
your skaffold.yaml
file.
The following list shows the possible values for the
--platform flag in your CLI, or the platforms parameter in
your skaffold.yaml file:
| x86 | Arm |
|---|---|
amd64 |
aarch64 |
linux/amd64 |
linux/aarch64 |
Add the platforms parameter to your skaffold.yaml file
To specify the platform you want to build your image for, add the platforms
parameter to your skaffold.yaml file:
build:
platforms: ["linux/aarch64"]
artifacts:
- image: example
