Hi All, Instaclustr is considering updating the Jenkins agents that we’ve donated to the project (https://github.com/apache/cassandra-builds/blob/trunk/ASF-jenkins-agents.md) – we’d like to update the instance types of these from the current M4 2 X-Large sizes to M7G 2 X-Large.
Primarily this would be moving from x86 instances to Graviton ARM based ones, as we’ve seen a pretty good uptake of ARM usage, and we’d like to help ensure that there’s good testing coverage across both x86 and ARM architectures. Wasn’t sure where to start this conversation so this mailing list seems like the best place, I noticed a thread today in the dev slack that mentioned that the ARM test boxes currently in the pool have been down for a while, so it’d be good to get that fixed as the project closes in on a 5.0 release. Regards, Jackson Fleming
