Epic Goal

Deliver Builds on OpenShift for multiple architectures as Tech Preview.

Why is this important?

With the GA of Arm as a valid architecture to run OpenShift core services on we need to expand to have OpenShift Addons also functional on Arm

Acceptance Criteria (Mandatory)

• Release Builds for OpenShift for ARM, Power, and Z CPU architectures
• CLI is available for Arm arch (need for Power and Z, too?)
• Document that we support Builds for OpenShift on ARM, Power, and Z clusters as Technology Preview
• S2I and Buildah build strategies can build images on Arm arch
• CI - MUST be running successfully with tests automated
• Release Technical Enablement - Provide necessary release enablement details and documents.

Dependencies (internal and external)

1. Konflux multi-arch build support
2. s2i and buildah images for ARM, Power, and Z CPU architectures

Previous Work (Optional):

TBD

Open questions::

• Need `shp` CLI binaries for Power and Z architectures, too? Do we have this already via CPaaS?
