(Less Than) 50 Ways to Build Multi-Arch Containers
summary
Claims there are 49 ways to build multi-arch images and demos using specific tools: Co (Go cross-compilation into a static binary on UBI micro), podman manifest, qemu-user-static emulation, podman farm to dispatch native builds, and Tekton pipelines on OpenShift. A real llama.cpp image is built and pushed; podman farm runs parallel native builds in ~3m8s versus ~11m35s with emulation—about 4x faster—and podman assembles a manifest list pointing to per-arch digests in the registry.
