Hi Flinkers, In 2019, we raised an discussion in Flink about "ARM support for Flink"[1]. And we got so many helps and supports from Flink community about introducing a ARM CI system into Flink community, which is named "OpenLab"[2], and finally we create a full stack regression Flink tests on OpenLab ARM resources, then post a email to Flink Maillist about test result every day. We've been doing that for almost 2 years.
But now, we are so apologized that OpenLab had been reached its EOL. We had to close it last month. So for sustaining the existing ARM CI still work on Flink Community and helping contributors to verify their code on ARM. We decide that we *will donate some ARM resources(Virtual Machines) *into Flink community to make this happen. And considering the existing Flink CICD had been moved to Azure Pipeline, and doesn't use github action. Now what we can provide are *ONLY *ARM resources(Virtual Machines) from us, so we think *Flink community is the right role to decide how to use them.* We only give several suggestions here: 1. Github action self-hosted Machines(Integrated with our ARM resources) 2. Azure Pipeline self-hosted Machines(Integrated with our ARM resources) 3. Any ideas from Flinkers? If community accepts our ARM resources and want to integrate with existing CICD in any way, please feel free to ping me about the quota(CPU nums, Memory&Disk size and so on) of VM we need to donate. Thank you very much. BR Bo Zhao [1] https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@flink.apache.org/msg27054.html [2] https://openlabtesting.org/
