Linux
x86-64
x86-64 is the 64-bit extension of the x86 instruction set used by many Intel and AMD processors. Operating systems and compiled dependencies must target a compatible architecture to execute natively on these machines.
Also known as: x64, amd64, Intel 64
Why it matters
Architecture selection affects native binary and dependency compatibility.
Practical example
Choose a linux/amd64 container image when the deployment target runs on x86-64 hardware.
