About this Learning Path

Who is this for?

This is an advanced topic for developers who want to use AI-powered tools to migrate x86 applications to Arm-based cloud instances.

What will you learn?

Upon completion of this Learning Path, you will be able to:

  • Explain how the Arm MCP Server enables AI-driven x86-to-Arm migration workflows
  • Use AI-assisted checks to inspect Docker images for Arm compatibility
  • Automate the migration of x86-specific C++ code to Arm using structured prompt files
  • Validate and run a migrated C++ application using Docker on Arm-based systems
  • Configure AI agents to reuse the same migration workflow across different tools

Prerequisites

Before starting, you will need the following:

  • An AI-powered IDE such as VS Code, Copilot in VS Code, Kiro (IDE or CLI) or Codex
  • Basic familiarity with Docker and C/C++ development
  • Access to an Arm-based cloud instance or local Arm computer running Linux or macOS
