Canonical's Anbox Cloud now supports Google Cloud's C4A metal instances, which are Axion-based Arm bare-metal servers. This combination eliminates the long-standing trade-off between native Android performance and cloud scalability. Developers can run large-scale Cuttlefish environments directly on Arm hardware without nested virtualization, enabling system-level Android development, CI/CD pipelines, and validation workflows that previously required physical device labs. Anbox Cloud also spans C4A and N4A instances, letting teams mix bare-metal and virtual infrastructure within a single deployment.
