                  I added AArch64 (64-bit ARM) architecture support to<br>
                  Kolla project. Side effect of that work was adding
                  ppc64le (64-bit<br>
                  Power, Little Endian) support.<br>
                  <br>
                  Time passed, from time to time someone jumped to the
                  irc channel and<br>
                  said that they use it. No one in core team spent much
                  time on supporting<br>
                  it as it was outside of our interest.<br>
                  <br>
                  From time to time I was reserving Power machine in Red
                  Hat to do build<br>
                  and check how we are with ppc64le support. This week I
                  did that again.<br>
                  <br>
                  From 3 distributions we target only Debian/source
                  combo was buildable.<br>
                  <br>
                  CentOS builds lack 'rabbitmq' 3.7.10 (we use external
                  repo) and<br>
                  'gnocchi' binary images are not buildable due to lack
                  of some packages<br>
                  (issue already reported to CentOS by TripleO team).<br>

    <p>We should be getting the gnocchi issue fixed. See this thread

      The rabbitmq issue is confusing me. The version provided for
      x86_64 seems to be the same one provided for ppc64le, but maybe
      I'm missing something. If there's a package we need to get
      published, I can investigate.<br>

                <div>I think TripleO uses the ppc64le containers. I'm

          <div>The TripleO team is working on ppc64le right now and
            should be uploading ppc64le containers to <a
              href="http://docker.io" moz-do-not-send="true">docker.io</a>
            in a few weeks.  I'm pretty sure the ppc team is using kolla
            to build the containers, but I'm not 100% sure as the
            ppc64le container build jobs are in a 3rd party ci system.</div>

    Just to clarify, the builds happen here

    We are using kolla with buildah. The Dockerfiles are generated by

    <p>The question I have is, what do you need to maintain support? I
      can join this week's IRC meeting if that would be helpful.<br>
      <br>
      Also, last week mnasiadka reached out to me asking if we might be
      able to turn on kolla jobs in pkvmci (our third party CI -

      I plan to talk to our CI folks this week to see if we have
