Abstract
Techniques for migrating a workload between two container clusters (i.e., source and destination container clusters) that use different processor architectures are provided. In one set of embodiments, these techniques involve implementing a migration container cluster that (1) creates a backup of the workload from the source container cluster, where the backup includes metadata regarding one or more objects or resources of the workload, and (2) restores the backup on the destination container cluster, where the restoring causes a worker node of the destination container cluster to automatically retrieve, from an image repository, a container image for the workload that is specific to the second processor architecture and deploy the container image as a running container on the worker node.
