Process

In general, the process to build a multiplatform-cpu architecture agnostic container image follows the flow depicted on the following figure.

Example using a Python Micro-Service

Main steps

The following diagram captures the main steps we need to take to enable multiplatform-cpu architecture agnostic containers:

(1) and (2) Build and push container images for each cpu-architectureplatform.

(3)  Create and push a manifest list for the images above

(4) Pull and run the exact same image/tag  on different cpu architecturesplatforms.

Manifest List and Image Layers

Digging a little bit deeper into step (4), the following diagram shows the relationship between a manifest list and image manifests for our multiplatform-cpu architecture agnostic image (tag).

The following sections describe the commands needed to create a multi-cpu architecture container image. Let's call the image onap/py-app.

...

For the release process, the flow will implemented using CI/CD pipelines as shown in the next section.

FROM python:2.7-alpine

# Keep it simple

COPY ./app /app

Build arm image (A)

Log into an arm server, copy the code into the structure depicted above.

...

Code Block
docker build -t onap/py-app-arm64 .

Push arm image to the registry

Once the image has been successfully built, push it to the repository.

...

Code Block
docker push onap/py-app-arm64arm64v8:latest

Build Intel image (B)

Log into an intel server, setup the code structure as before.

...

Code Block
docker build -t onap/py-app-amd64 .

Push Intel image to the registry

Code Block
docker push onap/py-app-amd64:latest

Create a manifest list for image A and image B

Now that we have built and pushed layers for each cpu architecture, we can create the manifest list to put the final container image together with

Code Block
docker manifest create onap/py-app \ 
                       onap/py-app-arm64arm64v8 \ 
                       onap/py-app-amd64 


Verify that the manifest describes a

platform-

agnostic container image.

Intermediate Image Naming Convention

As described above, multiplatform-cpu architecture agnostic support requires platform specific images that are put together to expose a multi-platform image. Architectures Platform architectures include, among others, arm,intel, mips, ppc64le, and s390x

...

Note: This table does not contain a exhaustive list of options and must only be used as an image naming guide. Because ONAP is vendor-agnostic, it the list is not intended as a statement of what architectures or OSs ONAP must support.
