Dear friends,
I have been running a fairly complex Linux server with docker images, mongodb, apache jena/fuseki and a complicated crontab and python environment on an AWS node with an underlying ARM architecture.

I only have an SSH access to it.

This damn node has hung twice in to months and the people managing the infrastructure are saying they would like to swap to an Intel node (I am not sure this is a good idea but they insist it's more stable).

Two questions:

a) Other than checking that there are equivalent Docker images for the Intel arch, are there other porting considerations?

b) What would be the easiest way to reimage the new node with a snapshot of the current (complex) installation without having to reinstall, re-customize and reload all data?

Thanks a lot for any insight.
