Description
It is possible to run containers built for a different architecture than the host's. More details are available here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Podman#Foreign_architectures
On an Intel CPU:
❯ podman run --arch arm64 'docker.io/debian:11' arch |
aarch64
|
Given that is quite difficult for us to get a hold of specific architecture VMs (s390, mips, power), we should check to see if the performance penalty of emulating the other architecture is acceptable for us to run tests on our more common systems (x86_64, arm64 base).
