Are there data points – do you have any customer story running Percona Mysql 8.0 in Graviton in large scale production for months? (not Raspberry Pi or mac) When you said the ARM64 docker build is in testing, do you mean only the packaging part requires more testing, or all the extra features added by Percona require testing?

Looks like, only RedHat users are able to compile from source.

It’s funny that OL9 is supported, even though OL probably has no future now that RedHat is no longer releasing its source. “06.2023”  
Based on the other posts and answers here in the forum to the question about ARM, the answer is always the same.  
Docker container or compile via the source code

We have come to the conclusion that we will not switch four large servers to Percona at a later date!  
It’s a real shame.  
Docker is not an option and spending hours trying to somehow get the source code to run on Debian 12 ARM64 is not an option.

Therefore we will work with the Community Edition of MariaDB.

I advocated for percona the last years and have now to admit, it was a stupid idea.

It is how it is, and we will move on without percona.
