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.
