Build riscv64 image
What this PR does / why we need it:
I'm currently working on adding riscv64 support for kubevirt, as detailed in https://github.com/kubevirt/containerized-data-importer/issues/3948. While adding support for CDI, I discovered that this repository needs riscv64 support as well, so I've opened this PR to add riscv64 support.
By checking gcr.io/distroless/base:latest and alpine:latest , we can see the following table:
| arch | distroless/base | alpine |
|---|---|---|
| amd64 | Y | Y |
| arm64/v8 | Y | Y |
| arm/v7 | Y | Y |
| s390x | Y | Y |
| ppc64le | Y | Y |
| riscv64 | N | Y |
| 386 | N | Y |
| arm/v6 | N | Y |
Clearly, Alpine has excellent multi-architecture support. Should we consider switching from distroless/base to Alpine to gain riscv64 support? I believe there shouldn't be any compatibility issues between the two, but I haven't yet found a good approach for testing this image in CI. If I find one, I'll submit the relevant PR promptly.
For now, I've run the CI in my own fork, and the results show everything is working smoothly. Details are as follows:
