So how do you bake your code in your base image ?
I'm referring to the developer experience here :
1. do you develop on x86 (mac, win, linux)?
2. Where do you build the arm docker images ? On your laptop - is it even possible.
3. Which build CI do you use to cross build arm?
2 and 3 I’ll answer to the “best of my knowledge” but on the professional level it’s something my team doesn’t handle (I do wish I knew more!). Features get merged to dev/stage/main and trigger blue-green rolling deploys based on whatever is configured. The deploy is handled through AWS CodeDeploy (not my choice, also not my teams jurisdiction) which handles ticket validation/testing/deploying to whatever k8s cluster/manual deployment rollover if needed.
I believe you can build ARM images from Docker, or at least I have a vague recollection of doing so for a Raspberry Pi, on a normal x86 machine
In my team we mandate testing docker images on local dev machines before rolling to production, so i was wondering how the cross-compiles, etc would work . But this is helpful. thanks!
