This Learning Path shows you how to migrate a real microservices application from x86 to Arm on GKE using multi-architecture container images. You'll work with Google's Online Boutique, a sample application built with multiple programming languages that represents real production architectures. The migration requires no major code changes, making it a practical example of moving to Arm-based Google Axion processors.

## Why use Google Axion processors for GKE?
1417

1518
Google Axion processors bring modern Arm-based compute to GKE, delivering strong price-performance and energy efficiency for cloud-native, scale-out services. With multi-architecture images and mixed node pools, you can migrate services from x86 to Arm gradually, with no major code changes.

[Google Axion](https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/compute/introducing-googles-new-arm-based-cpu) is Google Cloud's Arm-based CPU family built on Arm Neoverse, for general-purpose, cloud-native services and CPU-based AI. Deploy it for workloads like web apps and web servers, containerized microservices, open-source databases, in-memory caches, data analytics, media processing, and CPU-based AI inference and data processing. On GKE, leverage Axion through the C4A and N4A VM families, paired with Google's Titanium offloads to free CPU cycles for application work.

25-
- Price-performance: you can run more workload per unit of cost for scale-out services
26-
- Energy efficiency: you can reduce power usage for always-on microservices
27-
- Compatibility: migrate containerized apps with build and deploy changes only—no code rewrites required
28+
- Price-performance: you can run more workload per unit of cost, which is particularly valuable for scale-out services that need to handle increasing traffic efficiently.
29+
- Energy efficiency: you reduce power usage for always-on microservices, lowering both operational costs and environmental impact.
30+
- Compatibility: you can migrate containerized applications with build and deploy changes only—no code rewrites are required, making the transition straightforward.
