PVE ARM support for Ampere altra max

[kyesil]

Very interesting thing : Arm based server. It can be change everything for server world. We know apple make shock to PC world with Apple Arm cpu. Arm cpu architecture more efficiently. Debian is supporting arm. PVE is debian based.

What you think? There is any plan with arm support for PVE?

They still can’t execute an x86_64 instruction set, so what do you plan to run at scale on an ARM server?

When STH tested the Ampere Altra Max, they said that all these ARM servers are primarily made for few big datacenters with a narrow spectrum of workloads. So they don't make good general-purpose servers, lack at floating point performance and versatility but are great if you just want integer performance or a lot of cores per socket to pay less for licenses. So you got more cores you can sell as a VPS. And these CPUs are optimized to be really fast at running stuff like nginx.
So they aren't that interesting for most people, unless you are hoster or a very big company that creates its own ARM optimized software.
