The presentation discusses multi-architecture images and their implementation in Buildpacks.
- Buildpacks are a declarative way to translate application source code into a production image.
- Multi-architecture images are becoming increasingly important as developers require their applications to run on both x86_64 and ARM64.
- The current platform specification maps a platform onto a single architecture, so there is a need to explore approaches to implementing multi-architecture images.
- Three high-level approaches to implementing multi-architecture images are presented.
- The talk aims to accelerate the discussion around multi-architecture images and encourage design questions around it.
