Arm and Equinix Metal have partnered to make powerful Neoverse based Armv8 bare metal infrastructure including latest generation Ampere systems — available for open source software developers to build, test and optimize for Arm64 architecture.
Provide the URLs where it is located, or a Git repository.
Does this project require ARMv8.2 (Yes/No/Not Sure)? If Yes, please provide details
Depends we need Nested virtualization (ARMv8.3 I think) or if that's not possible a bare machine to test ISOs
What infrastructure (computing resources and network access) do you need?
16+ cores
24GB+ ram
100-200GB storage (doesn't really matter)
Let us know if you need short-term (one time) support, or if this is a request for
continuous ongoing support. If possible, please identify foundations or other
support organizations that can help with long-running projects.
Describe / Name the continuous integration (CI) system for this project.
Will these machines be exclusively used for CI purposes?
No they wont but we will use Github CI to automate portions
Please share a public URL of the CI dashboard (if applicable).
Does the project allows the use of your project logo on ARM's developer website freely? Yes / No / Not Sure
Yes of cource.
If No / Not Sure, Please share the relevant contact.
Please state your contributions to the open source community and any other relevant initiatives.
