When you target the ARM64 architecture, you bypass the overhead of Rosetta 2 emulation, leading to faster build times, quicker container startup, and more responsive applications. This chapter guides you through creating a simple Python Flask API, defining its <code>Dockerfile</code>, and building an optimized ARM64 OCI (Open Container Initiative) image using <code>nerdctl</code> within your dedicated container machine.</p>
