Martin Tzvetanov Grigorov commented on KAFKA-10759:
---------------------------------------------------
[~xiaopenglei] There are some people using ARM64, indeed! There are two open
Pull Requests at GitHub ([https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/8489] and its
successor: [https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/9794)] to test Kafka on ARM64
at TravisCI.
The pros of using TravisCI is that it is easy to setup and it is free! The cons
is that it uses Apache's plan at TravisCI and it might take some time before a
project has its chance to run its build there.
Using a custom ARM64 Jenkins node sounds like a better approach here!
Especially if it only for Kafka and/or if it is more powerful than TravisCI VMs!
@ Kafka devs: Feel free to close the Pull Requests if you prefer Jenkins than
TravisCI!

> ARM support for Kafka.
> I tried to deploy the Kafka cluster on the ARM server, but unfortunately I
> did not find the official ARM release for Kafka. I think more and more
> people will try the same thing as I do.
> Now the CI of kafka (in github) is handled by jenkins-ci. While the test is
> running under x86 ARCH, the arm ARCH is missing. This leads an problem that
> we don't have a way to test every pull request that if it'll break the kafka
> deployment on arm or not. Similarly, we cannot provide the ARM release
> package without the ARM CI.
> If Apache Kafka community has interested with it, I can help for the
> integration.
> This is the umbrella issue to track the efforts to make Kafka run on ARM
> processors.
