Personally, I don't use AIX, s390x or ppc64. But others do, and that's
exactly why I think it would be very valuable if we could run jobs on
such platforms. It would allow us to avoid users being our first test,
so that's an easy +1 for me.
Thank you Sudip for reaching out with this offer!

Hi Sudip!
At least I do use Linux on s390x at work, as well as AIX on ppc64
hardware, but for now, Linux on ppc64(le) is probably as good for now.
However, AIX support would have a great advantage: AIX does not have all
the utilities various *BSD and Linux other unix-like distros (like
MacOS) ship with, so AIX might be an interesting asset in the future to
test for that.
Anyway, I would love to see both platforms available for Apache Maven
for these reasons.
I am also on the OpenJ9 slack, and if you are interested, you can also
join the Apache Slack instance as guests if you are interested. But
important decisions must be discussed on the public mailing list.
So, here is my +1. What do the others think about this?

Hello Team,
We are interested in adding s390x and ppc64le support to Apache Maven
GitHub Actions. Previously s390x was part of Apache Maven Jenkins CI,
but was dropped when CI was moved to GitHub Actions as it did not have
native support for s390x. We now have hosted GHA actions runners
available for IBM Z and ppc64le and gradually onboarding open source
communities to utilize it as we work on expanding the capacity.
I'll be happy to engage with Apache Maven community to see if this
solution helps with the enablement.
An onboarding document(https://github.com/IBM/actionspz/blob/main/
docs/FAQ.md) is available. If community agrees, we are glad to provide
necessary support.
Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
Regards,
Sudip Roy
