Cloud Code support for ARM GKE clusters

This page describes Cloud Code's current support for deploying to ARM Google Kubernetes Engine clusters.

Note: minikube does not emulate a platform that isn't your client's platform. For example, you can only build an ARM image for minikube and run it if you are on an ARM client.

Apple silicon development machines targeting ARM runtime

As a developer working on an Apple silicon development machine, you can use Cloud Code to locally build an ARM image using Jib or Dockerfiles, deploy it to minikube or GKE on ARM, and run or debug your application.

Note: Buildpacks are not currently supported for Apple silicon machines.

x86 development machines targeting ARM runtime

As a developer working on an x86 development machine, you can use Cloud Code to locally build an ARM image using Jib or Dockerfiles, deploy it to GKE, and run or debug your application.

Note: Docker Engine on Linux does not come with QEMU emulators installed by default, which is required by Skaffold's use of Docker BuildX for cross-platform builds. To setup QEMU for Docker builds, see the instructions in Docker BuildX.
