As I know this project uses Github actions to build images. Github actions only support amd64 runners does not offer arm64 runner like other CI provider. You can build arm64 images on amd64 platform with the help on Docker BuildX however it will have a 3-4X time penalty compared to a native arm64 runner. To make sure Airflow running on arm64 without hiccup you needs to rerun all of the test on arm64 runner as well. I don't know how do that on Github with amd64 runner. Our CI provider has amd64 and arm64 runners and we double run our test to make sure both platform is fully supported. Our CI provider has a very generous open source but migrating this project to other CI provider would be a lot of work. To run Airflow on Amazon Graviton (other public provider does not have arm offering yet) would not have significant impact on our monthly bill. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
