Support building arm64 CAPI images

invidian opened this issue · 11 comments

Both Azure and AWS supports ARM64 VMs now, so I think it would be great if image-builder would be able producing arm64 compatible images.

I see that there are already some parameters for selecting the CPU architecture, but I don't think there is a complete support for any of the platforms. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

This came out as part of working on flatcar/Flatcar#734 (comment).

Would be really nice to have the option to build ARM64 images.

I agree. I haven't looked much but I think it's possible to create ARM64 images if you provide the right parameters but it's not clear or consistent.

Hello, I have added here an example using QEMU-KVM on ARM64:
