[Platform Support]: Enable Testing for ARM64 platform

[odidev]

Platform ID

Linux AArch64

Description

I am working with Elastic Beats on the Linux ARM64 platform.

Although it seems support for ARM64 is present, testing is not included in the CI. Do you have any plan to include the ARM64 testing for Linux?

AWS AMI identifier

ami-06dac44ad759182bd

Instance Type

a1.large

Root user

admin

What scenarios should be run using this platform?

filebeat, metricbeat, heartbeat

[odidev]

I ran fleet and helm (filebeat and metricbeat) tests on ARM64 locally. The tests are running successfully with the same result as that on AMD64.

Please let me know your plans on enabling arm64 testing in CI. If required, I’ll be happy to contribute.

@AndersonQ Could you please have a look at this?

Hello @odidev, sorry for the delay. I can tell you we're working on improving our e2e tests, which includes adding support for AArch64 on out test suites.

@pierrehilbert @nimarezainia besides the issues for the overal improvements of our e2e tests, do you know if we're tracking adding the AArch64 somewhere?
