ARM64

Typhoon has experimental support for ARM64 on AWS, with Fedora CoreOS or Flatcar Linux. Clusters can be created with ARM64 controller and worker nodes. Or worker pools of ARM64 nodes can be attached to an AMD64 cluster to create a hybrid/mixed architecture cluster.

!!! note Currently, CNI networking must be set to flannel or cilium.

Cluster

Create a cluster with ARM64 controller and worker nodes. Container workloads must be arm64 compatible and use arm64 container images.

=== "Fedora CoreOS Cluster (arm64)"

```tf
module "gravitas" {
  source = "git::https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon//aws/fedora-coreos/kubernetes?ref=v1.24.4"

  # AWS
  cluster_name = "gravitas"
  dns_zone     = "aws.example.com"
  dns_zone_id  = "Z3PAABBCFAKEC0"

  # configuration
  ssh_authorized_key = "ssh-ed25519 AAAAB3Nz..."

  # optional
  arch         = "arm64"
  networking   = "cilium"
  worker_count = 2
  worker_price = "0.0168"

  controller_type = "t4g.small"
  worker_type     = "t4g.small"
}
```

=== "Flatcar Linux Cluster (arm64)"

```tf
module "gravitas" {
  source = "git::https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon//aws/flatcar-linux/kubernetes?ref=v1.24.4"

  # AWS
  cluster_name = "gravitas"
  dns_zone     = "aws.example.com"
  dns_zone_id  = "Z3PAABBCFAKEC0"

  # configuration
  ssh_authorized_key = "ssh-ed25519 AAAAB3Nz..."

  # optional
  arch         = "arm64"
  networking   = "cilium"
  worker_count = 2
  worker_price = "0.0168"

  controller_type = "t4g.small"
  worker_type     = "t4g.small"
}
```

Verify the cluster has only arm64 (aarch64) nodes. For Flatcar Linux, describe nodes.

$ kubectl get nodes -o wide

Hybrid

Create a hybrid/mixed arch cluster by defining an AWS cluster. Then define a worker pool with ARM64 workers. Optional taints are added to aid in scheduling.

=== "FCOS Cluster"

```tf
module "gravitas" {
  source = "git::https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon//aws/fedora-coreos/kubernetes?ref=v1.24.4"

  # AWS
  cluster_name = "gravitas"
  dns_zone     = "aws.example.com"
  dns_zone_id  = "Z3PAABBCFAKEC0"

  # configuration
  ssh_authorized_key = "ssh-ed25519 AAAAB3Nz..."

  # optional
  networking   = "cilium"
  worker_count = 2
  worker_price = "0.021"

  daemonset_tolerations = ["arch"]     # important
}
```

=== "Flatcar Cluster"

```tf
module "gravitas" {
  source = "git::https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon//aws/flatcar-linux/kubernetes?ref=v1.24.4"

  # AWS
  cluster_name = "gravitas"
  dns_zone     = "aws.example.com"
  dns_zone_id  = "Z3PAABBCFAKEC0"

  # configuration
  ssh_authorized_key = "ssh-ed25519 AAAAB3Nz..."

  # optional
  networking   = "cilium"
  worker_count = 2
  worker_price = "0.021"

  daemonset_tolerations = ["arch"]     # important
}
```

=== "FCOS ARM64 Workers"

```tf
module "gravitas-arm64" {
  source = "git::https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon//aws/fedora-coreos/kubernetes/workers?ref=v1.24.4"

  # AWS
  vpc_id          = module.gravitas.vpc_id
  subnet_ids      = module.gravitas.subnet_ids
  security_groups = module.gravitas.worker_security_groups

  # configuration
  name               = "gravitas-arm64"
  kubeconfig         = module.gravitas.kubeconfig
  ssh_authorized_key = var.ssh_authorized_key

  # optional
  arch          = "arm64"
  instance_type = "t4g.small"
  spot_price    = "0.0168"
  node_taints   = ["arch=arm64:NoSchedule"]
}
```

=== "Flatcar ARM64 Workers"

```tf
module "gravitas-arm64" {
  source = "git::https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon//aws/flatcar-linux/kubernetes/workers?ref=v1.24.4"

  # AWS
  vpc_id          = module.gravitas.vpc_id
  subnet_ids      = module.gravitas.subnet_ids
  security_groups = module.gravitas.worker_security_groups

  # configuration
  name               = "gravitas-arm64"
  kubeconfig         = module.gravitas.kubeconfig
  ssh_authorized_key = var.ssh_authorized_key

  # optional
  arch          = "arm64"
  instance_type = "t4g.small"
  spot_price    = "0.0168"
  node_taints   = ["arch=arm64:NoSchedule"]
}
```

Verify amd64 (x86_64) and arm64 (aarch64) nodes are present.
