In this episode of KubeFM, Thibault and Miguel explain how Adevinta built an internal platform on Kubernetes for mixed AMD and ARM workloads.
You will learn:
The challenges they faced with validating containers for mixed architecture with a mutating webhook and the open source solution they came up with: noe.
Building an internal platform requires careful planning and designing simple interfaces that are backwards compatible.
