In terms of compatibility, they are the same. In general, arm64 architecture consumes less power and therefore mobile systems first favour it. Its power efficiency now … Read moreKubernetes with Multiple CPU Architectures 2 of 2 – Node and Workload

Either way, they need a landing zone for consistency. This post focuses on … Read moreLanding Zone options in AWS

As long as a service’s capacity is managed automatically, we can consider it as serverless. Given that capacity scaling accounts for a good amount of work in IT operation, moving to … Read moreAWS serverless services and developer tools
