Architecture Support

Open yakatz opened this issue 9 months ago • 2 comments

i386 is dead and arm64 is up-and-coming.

  1. Are there any versions of Puppet actually supported for maintained 32-bit systems?

  2. We currently assume all generated facts from from VirtualBox so we can make sure they always have the correct IP addresses. VirtualBox does not - at probably will not - support arm. We need a way to ensure that generated factsets will still have reasonable values even if run on a different hypervisor.

One option would be to have a translation script with published dummy values that each factset can be run through when it is generated that will replace IP addresses. UUIDs, etc.
