This PR introduces aarch64 images. I'm leaving it in draft status until the arm64 GitHub Actions runners are publicly available.

We expect to begin offering Arm runners for open source projects by the end of the year.


The images won’t double in number again because multi-arch manifests are used, so it looks like this on the user side:

4 image builders, merged into 2 images (alpine, debian) using multi-arch manifests:

The motivation is dual again:

  • ARM platforms are getting more widespread, especially in cloud environments (for example, AWS Graviton), offering a more cost-effective alternative to x86-64.
  • the image would help create local test and dev environments (for example, Kubernetes deployments) on Apple silicon laptops.
