'Works on Arm' supports over 100 open source projects.
"We will innovate software across our cloud-to-edge infrastructure."

Arm announced an expansion of its Works on Arm initiative, which will provide free access to Arm-based developer platforms, cloud instances, and CI/CD environments.

Arm announced today that it will support the use of Neoverse-based compute instances from major cloud platform providers as part of its Works on Arm initiative.

Major cloud platform providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Equinix, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Oracle, and Tencent are eligible for support.

In its recent Neoverse roadmap update, Arm highlighted how it delivers the performance, efficiency, and specialized processing the infrastructure market demands.

Works on Arm is designed to help developers build, test, and optimize their projects on the Arm architecture.

This provides developers with a wide range of options for free and easy access to Arm-based cloud computing.

Furthermore, Works on Arm is currentlyCloud-native projects such as Bazel, Jenkins, and Travis CI
△Supports over 100 open source projects across the software stack, including languages such as Python, Ruby, and Ocaml; △OS and virtualization projects such as AlmaLinux, KVM, and Xen Project; and △databases such as MariaDB and ScllyaDB.

Access to Arm-based platforms allows these projects to run a broader test suite, including better build times, better regression testing and bug fixes, performance benchmarking, and optimization.

Arm is providing the foundation for a better developer experience overall and making it easier for developers to use the Arm architecture.

Meanwhile, Works on Arm offers more than just the cloud.

Through its partnership with miniNodes, Arm now provides hosted access to IoT and edge platforms like Jetson Nano and Raspberry Pi, enabling edge-native software and use case development.

Additionally, Arm is taking things to a whole new level with Arm Virtual Hardware (AVH), a cloud-hosted virtual model of Arm-based IoT endpoint devices.

In addition to enabling embedded developers to accelerate CI/CD workflows and other development use cases, Arm is also showcasing all the benefits of Arm-based cloud computing by hosting AVH on Arm servers with our partner, Corellium.

Mohamed Awad, senior vice president and general manager of Arm's infrastructure business unit, said:“The Works on Arm program ensures that cloud-native developers around the world have free access to Arm-based compute resources anytime, anywhere,” he said. “With our continued commitment to open source, coupled with close partnerships across the software ecosystem, the future of infrastructure is being built on Arm.”
