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

  • Provision an Azure Arm64 virtual machine using the Azure portal, with Ubuntu Pro 24.04 LTS as the base image
  • Deploy Golang on an Arm64-based virtual machine running Ubuntu Pro 24.04 LTS
  • Perform Golang baseline testing and benchmarking on both x86_64 and Arm64 virtual machines

Prerequisites

Before starting, you will need the following:

  • A Microsoft Azure account with access to Azure Cobalt 100 Arm-based instances (Dpsv6-series)
