AArch64 support in Kolla(-Ansible) project is present since Ocata (iirc). For most of that time we supported all three distributions: CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu.
# Distribution coverage
CentOS has binary (with packages from RDO project) and source images. We supported version 7, 8 and now we are using CentOS Stream 8 in Wallaby.
Debian is source only as there never was any source of up-to-date OpenStack packages (Debian OpenStack team builds only x86-64 packages and they do it after release).
Ubuntu has both binary (packages from UCA) and source images.
# My interest
I take care of Debian/source ones as we use them at Linaro in our developer cloud setups. It often means backporting of fixes when we upgrade from one previous release to something newer.
Getting binary support is just a mater of rebuilding packages for arm64. I once did that for you setting-up a Jenkins machine just for rebuilding. It's really a shame that you guys aren't following that road. You'd have all of my support if you did. I personally don't have access to the necessary hardware for it, and wont use the arm64 repos...
