Getting Buildpacks Ready for the Multi-Architecture Future with Terence Lee, Heroku (Salesforce) & Juan Bustamante, VMware
We will start with the basics of Buildpacks, Buildpack Platforms, and how one can easily distribute Buildpacks with Builder Images. ARM64 is known for being energy efficient and has gained popularity between Apples’ M1/2 chips and Amazon Web Services’ Graviton Processor. Supporting multi-architecture images is one of the top asks from the community. In this talk, we’ll discuss the challenges of supporting multi-architecture application images and how Buildpacks help solve this problem. We will show how this is possible with multi-architecture Buildpacks and Builder Images.
