Over 50% of new AWS instances and 33% of Azure instances now run on Arm64, making architecture support critical. CNCF projects including OpenTelemetry, Longhorn, Crossplane, Falco, and containerd have already benefited, with credit usage surpassing the prior year's total in just two months. Maintainers can request access via a CNCF Service Desk ticket, with an initial suggested spend limit of $5,000/month. Project maintainers report improved build confidence, release quality, and Arm64 adoption as a result. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
