+# Multi-platform Linux Dockerfile
+#
+# This Dockerfile supports multiple Linux platforms:
+# - Linux AMD64 (x86_64): Standard Intel/AMD processors on Linux
+# - Linux ARM64 (aarch64): Apple Silicon, AWS Graviton, Raspberry Pi 4
+# - Linux ARM/v7: Older ARM devices like Raspberry Pi 2/3
+# - Linux 386: 32-bit x86 systems
+# - Linux PPC64LE: PowerPC 64-bit Little Endian
+# - Linux s390x: IBM Z mainframes
+#
+# To create a multi-architecture image that works on any platform:
+#
+# 1. Set up Docker BuildKit builder if you haven't already:
+#    docker buildx create --name multiarch --driver docker-container --use
+#
+# 2. Build and push a multi-architecture image to a registry:
+#    docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 -t username/mcp-instana:latest --push .
+#
+# 3. Pull and run the image on any platform:
+#    docker pull username/mcp-instana:latest
+#    docker run -p 8080:8080 username/mcp-instana:latest
+#
+# The image will automatically use the correct architecture version for the host system.
+#
+# Note: The --push flag is required for multi-architecture builds as Docker needs to
+# create a manifest list in a registry. If you want to load the image locally for testing,
+# you can only build for your current architecture:
+#    docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 -t mcp-instana:latest --load .
+#
+# For CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions):
+# ```yaml

+### Multi-Architecture Support
+
+The Docker image supports multiple processor architectures, making it portable across different environments:
+
+#### **Supported Architectures**
+- ✅ **amd64/x86_64**: Standard Intel/AMD processors (Windows, Linux, most cloud VMs)
+- ✅ **arm64/aarch64**: Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3), AWS Graviton, Raspberry Pi 4, etc.
+
+#### **Benefits of Multi-Architecture Images**
+- **Cross-Platform Compatibility**: Run the same image on any supported architecture
+- **Seamless Deployment**: No need to build different images for different environments
+- **CI/CD Simplification**: Build once, deploy anywhere
+- **Cloud Flexibility**: Switch between cloud providers and instance types without rebuilding images
+
+#### **How It Works**
+1. The multi-architecture image is a "manifest list" containing images for each architecture
+2. When you pull the image, Docker automatically selects the correct architecture for your system
+3. The image runs natively on your architecture without emulation, ensuring optimal performance
+
 ### Docker Security Features
 
 #### **Security Best Practices Implemented**
 - ✅ **Non-root user**: Container runs as `mcpuser` (not root)
-- ✅ **No hardcoded secrets**: All credentials passed via environment variables
+- ✅ **No secrets in container**: Credentials are passed via HTTP headers from clients, not stored in the container
 - ✅ **Minimal dependencies**: Only 20 essential runtime dependencies
 - ✅ **Multi-stage build**: Build tools don't make it to final image
 - ✅ **Health checks**: Built-in container health monitoring
 - ✅ **Optimized base image**: Uses `python:3.11-slim`
+- ✅ **Multi-architecture support**: Run natively on any supported platform
 
 #### **Image Size Optimization**
 - **Original approach**: 95+ dependencies → ~1-2GB+ image
@@ -1111,11 +1168,12 @@ docker exec -it <container_id> /bin/bash
 ### Production Deployment
 
 #### **Recommended Production Setup**
-1. **Use environment variables** for all secrets
-2. **Set up proper logging** and monitoring
-3. **Configure health checks** for container orchestration
-4. **Use container orchestration** (Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, etc.)
-5. **Implement proper backup** and disaster recovery
+1. **Run container without credentials** - The container runs in Streamable HTTP mode, so no Instana credentials are needed in the container
+2. **Configure clients with credentials** - Pass Instana credentials via HTTP headers from MCP clients (Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot, etc.)
+3. **Set up proper logging** and monitoring
+4. **Configure health checks** for container orchestration

+### Multi-Architecture Support
+
+The Docker image supports multiple processor architectures, making it portable across different environments:
+
+#### **Supported Architectures**
+- ✅ **amd64/x86_64**: Standard Intel/AMD processors (Windows, Linux, most cloud VMs)
+- ✅ **arm64/aarch64**: Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3), AWS Graviton, Raspberry Pi 4, etc.
+
+#### **Benefits of Multi-Architecture Images**
+- **Cross-Platform Compatibility**: Run the same image on any supported architecture
+- **Seamless Deployment**: No need to build different images for different environments
+- **CI/CD Simplification**: Build once, deploy anywhere
+- **Cloud Flexibility**: Switch between cloud providers and instance types without rebuilding images
+
+#### **How It Works**
+1. The multi-architecture image is a "manifest list" containing images for each architecture
+2. When you pull the image, Docker automatically selects the correct architecture for your system
+3. The image runs natively on your architecture without emulation, ensuring optimal performance
+
 ### Docker Security Features
 
 #### **Security Best Practices Implemented**
 - ✅ **Non-root user**: Container runs as `mcpuser` (not root)
-- ✅ **No hardcoded secrets**: All credentials passed via environment variables
+- ✅ **No secrets in container**: Credentials are passed via HTTP headers from clients, not stored in the container
 - ✅ **Minimal dependencies**: Only 20 essential runtime dependencies
 - ✅ **Multi-stage build**: Build tools don't make it to final image
 - ✅ **Health checks**: Built-in container health monitoring
 - ✅ **Optimized base image**: Uses `python:3.11-slim`
+- ✅ **Multi-architecture support**: Run natively on any supported platform
 
 #### **Image Size Optimization**
 - **Original approach**: 95+ dependencies → ~1-2GB+ image

 ### Production Deployment
 
 #### **Recommended Production Setup**
-1. **Use environment variables** for all secrets
-2. **Set up proper logging** and monitoring
-3. **Configure health checks** for container orchestration
-4. **Use container orchestration** (Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, etc.)
-5. **Implement proper backup** and disaster recovery
+1. **Run container without credentials** - The container runs in Streamable HTTP mode, so no Instana credentials are needed in the container
+2. **Configure clients with credentials** - Pass Instana credentials via HTTP headers from MCP clients (Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot, etc.)
+3. **Set up proper logging** and monitoring
+4. **Configure health checks** for container orchestration
+5. **Use container orchestration** (Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, etc.)
+6. **Implement proper backup** and disaster recovery
