02/07/2024, 11:49 AMTo add some context (mostly the business side): It isn’t a big deal if the fleet server itself only runs on amd64 since it is only one instance. But not being able to connect Linux arm64 machines is a huge downturn since a lot of our vms and clusters run on arm. This downgrades fleet for us to an end user device management system for which the number is comparatively much smaller than vms and cluster nodes.

02/12/2024, 2:04 PMHowdy! Hope your weekend was good! 😄 For transparency, I'm a software engineer, not on the product team, so I can't really speak to our prioritization of specific issues. I do know that we review all open issues every sprint, and that product will communicate on that issue when it's ready for the engineering team to tackle, so keep an eye on that issue for sure!
