Graviton (ARM64) Build Reliability and ETA

[dkang0]

My company is using Percona Mysql 8.0 and planning to migrate to AWS Gravitons.
Compiling from sources is not a problem, but we want to know how reliable it is.

• 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?

• Do you expect to release the ARM64 binary before Q2? We are considering to go back to the original mysql if the ETA is unclear.

I have read these but there was no information about ETA or current reliability:

Missing APT packages compiled for ARM64

Hi everyone, I was trying to install the Percona Server for MongoDB on my ubuntu 20.04 graviton instance and I noticed that the ARM64 based packages are not yet available. Are there any plans of adding arm APT packages that we can use? Did someone else find another solution of running percona mongodb on ARM? Example apt errors when trying to install percona as its described here: W: Target Packages (main/binary-arm64/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/percona-…

Consider providing ARM64 builds

Please consider providing ARM support! Note: By Intel I mean x86-64 or x64 or x86_64 or AMD64 or Intel 64. Note: By ARM I mean ARMv8 or ARM64 or AArch64. Apple Macbook with M1 chip are becoming more prevalent. These machines do not use your typical Intel CPU but are rather ARM based. Developers with M1 Macbooks can’t spin up percona database with a simple docker run because images stored in docker hub registry only has architecture type AMD64. Apple sees Intel as legacy and as time passes b…

Hi @dkang0 , welcome to the Percona forums!
We are tracking our Percona Server for MySQL 8.0 deb package build in [PS-8124] Create binary DEB packages of PS for the ARM64 architecture - Percona JIRA
I recommend you follow and vote up that issue. As of yet there is no assigned release candidate nor release date.
If you would like to get started testing out Percona Server for MySQL on arm64 then you may consider deploying our experimental Docker container as per Consider providing ARM64 builds - #9 by Evgeniy_Patlan
I would suggest that we will have PS8 build before end of Q2, as that is still ~4 months away

Hi @Michael_Coburn, I see there is no update on PS-8124 for over a year, is that still the best place to track progress on this? Like many others I am eagerly hoping for ARM support to come soon .
