By default, Skaffold automatically detects
your target cluster's architecture and builds an image that matches your
workstation's architecture, even if your target cluster's architecture is mixed
(both x86 and Arm).
You also have the option to add a parameter in your
skaffold.yaml file that specifies what platform to build for, which overrides
Skaffold's automatic detection.
Specify the platform to build images for
If you want to override Skaffold's automatic detection when building your image,
you can specify the platform that you want to build images for in
your skaffold.yaml
file.
The following list shows the possible values for the
--platform flag in your CLI, or the platforms parameter in
your skaffold.yaml file:
x86
Arm
amd64
aarch64
linux/amd64
linux/aarch64
Add the platforms parameter to your skaffold.yaml file
To specify the platform you want to build your image for, add the platforms
parameter to your skaffold.yaml file:
[[["Easy to understand","easyToUnderstand","thumb-up"],["Solved my problem","solvedMyProblem","thumb-up"],["Other","otherUp","thumb-up"]],[["Hard to understand","hardToUnderstand","thumb-down"],["Incorrect information or sample code","incorrectInformationOrSampleCode","thumb-down"],["Missing the information/samples I need","missingTheInformationSamplesINeed","thumb-down"],["Other","otherDown","thumb-down"]],["Last updated 2025-03-05 UTC."],[[["Skaffold automatically detects the target cluster's architecture and builds a matching image, even in mixed-architecture environments."],["You can override Skaffold's automatic detection by specifying the desired platform using the `platforms` parameter in your `skaffold.yaml` file."],["The `platforms` parameter in `skaffold.yaml` or the `--platform` flag in the CLI can use values like `amd64`, `linux/amd64`, `aarch64`, or `linux/aarch64`."],["To specify the platform, add a `platforms` section to your `skaffold.yaml` file under the `build` section, with an array of desired values, such as `platforms: [\"linux/aarch64\"]`."]]],[]]
