This demo features the use of OpenShift Multi-Arch Compute to transfer workloads from an x86 Worker Node to an IBM Power Worker Node. The Sock-Shop, an open-source e-commerce solution that utilizes microservices and is available on GitHub, is used for this purpose.

The solution is installed on a combination of x86 and Power Worker Nodes. To begin the migration process, I cordon both x86 and one of the Power Worker Nodes, thereby preventing Pods from being scheduled to them. Subsequently, I delete the Pods on one of the x86 Worker Nodes, which are restarted on the Power Worker Node.
