I have a raspberry pie cluster( ARM-based CPU ) and a couple of virtual machines that run on an X86 based laptop, I was able to establish a K8S cluster atop my raspberry pie cluster and the other X86-based virtual machines .
I want to run a K8S deployment in this cluster with pods running the ARM-based docker image in Raspberry pie nodes and other pods running X86-based docker image in my X86-based virtual machines .
I wonder if there is any easy way to achieve this . Thanks in advance for your help.
You can use a Selector/Affinity mechanisms and beta.kubernetes.io/arch label of the node which automatically assigned to each of them.
You can call kubectl describe node $nodename and check that label. On X86 it will be beta.kubernetes.io/arch=amd64, on ARM it will be different.
So, for X86 payload you can add node selector:
nodeSelector:
beta.kubernetes.io/arch: amd64Then K8s will spawn that payload only on X86 servers. The same thing you can do for your ARM payload.
