Hi,  
According to [Install PMM Server with Docker container - Percona Monitoring and Management](https://docs.percona.com/percona-monitoring-and-management/3/install-pmm/install-pmm-server/deployment-options/docker/index.html), CPU supports x86\_64-v2 is a prerequisit. Is it required for Watchtower or PMM3 (with docker)?  
Thanks.

Hello @czhou,  
x86 is required for both pmm-server and watchtower containers.
