Document supported hardware architectures

[zamazan4ik]

Hi!

Could you please put the information about supported architectures to the documentation please? E.e. about supported architectures for different operating systems, some specific requirements to the supported instructions, if you have any (e.g. maybe AVX is required - I do not know). Currently, in the documentation I see that only x86-64 architecture is supported - is it still true? Also, which operating systems are supported?

This kind of information is important for the end-users.

Thanks in advance!

The assets that we create in the releases; https://github.com/thanos-io/thanos/releases should provide a quick overview of the supported archs. Could you point me to where you've read about x86-64 architecture? Then I'll have a look what we can do. Thanks!

@wiardvanrij Sure! https://thanos.io/tip/thanos/getting-started.md/#building-from-source - "Thanos is built purely in Golang, thus allowing to run Thanos on various x64 operating systems.". I have interpreted it as "x86-64".

Could you please somewhere in documentation mention that you support only prebuilt architectures? It will be helpful.

Well, I think the main point would be that technically we should be able to build for whatever. If there is the use case for it, we can include it in our release.
