What will you learn?

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

• Add Arm-based nodes (Google Axion) to an existing x86-based GKE cluster
• Rebuild an x86-based application to make it multi-arch and run on Arm
• Learn how to add taints and tolerations to GKE clusters to schedule application pods on architecture specific nodes
• Run a multi-arch application across multiple architectures on a single GKE cluster

Prerequisites

Before starting, you will need the following:

• A Google Cloud account . Create an account if needed.
• A computer with Google Cloud CLI and kubectl installed.
