[FEATURE REQUEST] Support for Windows arm64

Open rterbush opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

New here so no idea if there is an issue beyond building for the arm64 target.

Just discovered #10479 which is unfortunately closed.

https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/issues/10479

Could someone comment on this? Show stopper for my project if this build is not supported.

@rterbush Would you be willing to be an owner for this platform? Platform owners will be pinged on issues specific to this platform and are expected to help maintainers with any issues specific to it e.g. during releases. If you are interested, this platform could be introduced as a Tier 3 platform.

To add Tier 3 support for this platform you would need to do the following in order:

  • Add cross-compilation tests in opentelemetry-collector and ensure that the collector builds in this platform
  • Add cross-compilation tests in opentelemetry-collector-contrib and ensure that all component build correctly in this platform
  • Add yourself as the owner for this platform on the platform support document I linked above
  • Add support for generating binaries and other artifacts on this repository

As an example of the work needed, you can take a look at the PRs mentioned in #378 which recently added support for a different platform, linux/s390x.

@mx-psi I will consider taking this on in the future. At this time, I don't have the bandwidth to take this on but would be happy to contribute when I can.

I've since discovered that AWS is not supporting the arm64 Windows AMIs, which is a surprise to me given I am running arm64 Windows in other places. That has also lowered the priority for me as I am forced to go with the x86 images.

Alright, thanks for the context! :) If anyone else reading this in the future is interested in adding support for this, PRs are welcome and I am happy to help mentor them with this.
