Thanks @peterzhuamazon , let's keep in draft for now

I just noticed this PR as I ran into this same issue over on https://github.com/msfroh/cluster-etcd/pull/10, as I added a dependency on Docker and was using macos-latest.

I was wondering if it would be possible to use self-hosted runners running on one of the cloud providers to get newer Macs. Unfortunately, it looks like AWS doesn't offer M3/M4 Macs yet, and none of the other big cloud providers seem to offer Macs at all (from what I could find).

I did some Googling to see if I could find any options for cloud-based Macs that support M3/M4s. I found this Reddit post with some links to smaller providers that offer M4 Macs with 16GB of RAM for ~$120/month or 99€/month, depending on which one you pick. Of course, then we would need someone to maintain those instances.

Hi @andrross @reta,

I think we are ready to merge this.

GitHub has introduced macos-15-intel to replace macos-13 which is intel based.
And macos-15 to upgrade from macos-14 as arm64.

Let me know if we can approve and merge, we might need to update the required checks after this.

Thanks.

macos-15-intel being the slowest tests of all 😅

The backport to 2.19 failed:

The process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 128

To backport manually, run these commands in your terminal:

# Navigate to the root of your repository
cd $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
# Fetch latest updates from GitHub
git fetch
# Create a new working tree
git worktree add ../.worktrees/OpenSearch/backport-2.19 2.19
# Navigate to the new working tree
pushd ../.worktrees/OpenSearch/backport-2.19
# Create a new branch
git switch --create backport/backport-18772-to-2.19
# Cherry-pick the merged commit of this pull request and resolve the conflicts
git cherry-pick -x --mainline 1 2f7e9c7e1d6644973297e741eca197b23f789e81
# Push it to GitHub
git push --set-upstream origin backport/backport-18772-to-2.19
# Go back to the original working tree
popd
# Delete the working tree
git worktree remove ../.worktrees/OpenSearch/backport-2.19

Then, create a pull request where the base branch is 2.19 and the compare/head branch is backport/backport-18772-to-2.19.
