      DoD:

      We need to ensure we have parity with OCP and support heterogeneous clusters

       

      https://github.com/openshift/enhancements/pull/1014

      Goal

      • Provide a way to install with varied architecture NodePools with the ability to autoscale
      • Support provisioning heterogeneous architecture management cluster in Hypershift.
      • Define UX for multi arch HostedCluster/NodePool input. E.g always enforce multi arch image, this might not be possible because of impact for image registry on disconnected clusters https://github.com/openshift/enhancements/pull/1014#discussion_r798444099. 

      Why is this important?

      • Necessary to enable workloads with different architectures in the same Hosted Clusters.
      • Cost savings brought by more cost effective ARM instances

      Scenarios

      1. I have an x86 hosted cluster and I want to have at least one NodePool running ARM workloads
      2. I have an ARM hosted cluster and I want to have at least one NodePool running x86 workloads

      Acceptance Criteria

      • Dev - Has a valid enhancement if necessary
      • CI - MUST be running successfully with tests automated
      • QE - covered in Polarion test plan and tests implemented
      • Release Technical Enablement - Must have TE slides

      Dependencies (internal and external)

      1. The management cluster must use a multi architecture payload image.
      2. The target architecture is in the OCP payload
      3. MCE has builds for the architecture  used by the worker nodes of the management cluster
