Hello Nova,
Greetings from ARM and Linaro :D
This is Kevin Zhao from ARM. Nowadays Linaro and other
contributors have submitted some patches to Nova community , fixing bugs
for Nova running on AArch64. Now we can successfully running a OpenStack
cluster on AArch64 and pass much of the tempest test. The
virtuallization hypervisor is based on Libvirt+KVM.
Actually in Barcelona Keynote(interoperability Challenge
<https://www.openstack.org/videos/video/openstack-interoperability-challenge-running-unmodified-apps-in-any-openstack-cloud>,
at 10:30') one of the OpenStack interoperability cloud is from Linaro,
all based on AArch64 machines.
I see there is a Nova support matrix
<http://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/support-matrix.html>. So my
question is :
* what do we need to do, so that Nova can official support AArch64
architecture? for example add AArch64 to this support matrix?*
Sincerely thanks for your help. Any of your response will be
really appreciated.
Hi Kevin,
I think the first thing you would need to do is set up some sort of
continuous integration system that can be notified by upstream patch
changes/pushes and report results of Tempest testing against a build of
OpenStack on AArch64 machines.
You can read about setting up third-party CI for this here:
