Multi-Architecture for SDP (Experimental)
| This is an experimental feature of the Stackable Data Platform and still under development. |
Early-Access
SDP release 23.11.0 has been ported to the ARM64 architecture. These images are stored within the stackable-experimental organization in our Nexus.
As they are not available by default so you need to first switch to the stackable-experimental organization before pulling them for use with the data platform.
Actual Releases
The only release currently available for ARM64 is the early-access version mentioned above.
Each product is built using ARM-specific tags to keep them distinct from development/nightly images. In future they may be bundled as a manifest list using an automated workflow.
Early-Access with Helm
According to our installation guide you can install ARM64 operators e.g. for the commons operator as follows:
helm install commons-operator stackable-stable/commons-operator --namespace stackable-operators --create-namespace --version=23.11.0 --set image.repository=docker.stackable.tech/stackable-experimental/commons-operator| Listener operator 23.11.0 not available for bare metal arm64 machines |
By declaring --set image.repository=docker.stackable.tech/stackable-experimental/commons-operator you will overwrite the image selected by default with one located in the organization stackable-experimental. The other operators can be installed in the same way.
You have to install every operator you need for a given demo individually with helm using --skip-release with stackablectl. Otherwise, it will try to install x86 operators and pull ARM64 product images afterwards.

Early-Access to our products
The Product image selection mechanism allows the user to choose a specific product image and/or a different repository which may be relevant for e.g. air-gapped environments or when using a mirrored repository. To choose an ARM64 image specify the image in the custom field as follows:
spec:
image:
custom: docker.stackable.tech/stackable-experimental/kafka:3.5.1-stackable23.11.0
productVersion: 3.5.1| Only 23.11.0 is working at this moment. |
Prepared Demos
It is possible to run SDP demos on ARM64 architecture, but due to the changes that are necessary we have provided a separate branch to make this easier. Please follow the instructions below to run a demo on ARM.
You will need access to a Kubernetes Cluster and to have the stackablectl command-line tool installed.
2. Checkout ARM64 demo branch ( release 23.11.0 )
