In this live stream, Eric Sondhi (Arm) and Alexis Abril (GitHub) join Andrea Griffiths to discuss the GitHub Copilot-powered Arm Cloud Migration Agent. The session breaks down how it helps analyze codebases and migrate containers to Arm-based infrastructure.

GitHub Copilot Arm Cloud Migration Agent Deep Dive

In this GitHub Code & Community live stream, Eric Sondhi (PM, Arm) and Alexis Abril (Sr. Partner Engineer, GitHub) join Andrea Griffiths to explore a custom agent built for GitHub Copilot. This agent assists developers in migrating workloads from traditional x86 environments to Arm-based cloud infrastructure.

What’s Covered

• Custom Copilot Agent: Built specifically for migration to Arm architectures, this GitHub Copilot-powered agent examines your codebase to identify architecture-specific issues.
• Cloud Migration Workflow:
  • Scans your existing project for incompatibilities or optimizations needed for Arm
  • Provides actionable suggestions on code adjustments
  • Guides developers through preparing containers to run across both x86 and Arm platforms
• Arm MCP Server: The migration workflow is powered by the Arm MCP Server, enabling seamless transition between hardware architectures.
• Live Demo Insights: The team demonstrates how the agent operates when pointed at a real-world codebase, highlighting the detection of architecture-specific challenges and how the assistant helps resolve them.

Key Takeaways

• Automation: Streamline your migration process from x86 to Arm using AI-driven code analysis
• Container Support: Ensures your application containers run efficiently on both hardware platforms
• Practical Guidance: Learn common pitfalls and best practices for multi-architecture cloud deployments
