Continuous Delivery on Arm: A Practical Approach
summary
Shows a hands‑on path to run CI/CD natively on Arm using AWS Graviton (m6g/m7g), Azure Ampere and GCP t2a, with concrete claims: 30–40% performance gain on common workloads and 20–25% cost savings in tests. Demonstrations include GitLab running beyond its 10k reference size, GitLab Runner support since 12.6, and a pipeline that built Linux kernel on Arm and x86 runners plus an Auto‑scaling GitHub Actions pattern using Lambda and Docker buildx remote builders to produce multi‑arch images.
