Thanos: Upload container images for arm64 architecture

[der-eismann]

Now that AWS announced their way more powerful M6g instances it will start to get interesting to move from x86 to the ARM architecture. You already provide binaries on the releases page, but the docker images are for x86 only. Could you maybe adjust your build pipeline and provide images for ARM like prometheus does?

We can definitely consider this (:

Help wanted to set it up.

[der-eismann]

I'd be happy to help, but unfortunately it seems like CircleCI doesn't support it (yet). There are some hacky workarounds, but I'm not sure if this is the correct way.

So actually I have no idea how to do this right now.

[bwplotka]

I don't think we need any CI special feature for this:

Let's instead use the way Prometheus is doing this, so:
Docker build:

• https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/337a1fbffd17ad3c7952dadf1246ee6eedf57b01/Makefile.common#L213

And Dockerfile taking binaries from promu (we already use promu for the build process):

• https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/bca6e90ea6788100a56809e73f9eeaaa11480036/Dockerfile#L6

Still valid, and in fact we have a PR ready - it's waiting on us to actually test it and update quay a bit.

I am also looking into starting to test with m6g instances. Are there any prediction of when it will be available?

Is this still being worked on? I just tested and the thanos-sidecar in Prometheus is one of only a few containers that still make issues.

[bwplotka]

We had contributions to add the build/CI process. but I think there is some process of configuration on quay/dockerhub. To test and finish up.
