Let's say I have a cross-platform environment,
my app is deployed twice - once on windows container and one on a Linux container,
In addition, I have a DB container (Linux).
Can I use docker compose to build those 3 services?
I think not - because the images I use are built for a certain os type.
Am I right? and maybe I am wrong and there is a workaround for this?
Compose files using version 2.4 support the platform options, which allows for specifying the platform of the service.
platform: osx
platform: windows/amd64
platform: linux/arm64/v8
It should be noted that the platform option is not supported on v3 compose files.
