Can CRIU use arm based runners from Actuated?

[adrianreber]

Hello @alexellis, you mentioned in a runc and CRI-O ticket that Actuated now has 6.x based kernels for their aarch64 runners.

Would it be possible for CRIU to also use those runners for CI testing?

You can see how runc enabled this: opencontainers/runc#4142

Hi @adrianreber @kolyshkin how many jobs do you think you'd be generating?

[adrianreber]

Looking at the history of the last 6 months there were around 50 pull requests. A pull request takes a couple of attempts before it is merged, but I would say an average of 6 CI runs each for 50 pull requests. A common test setup we have is to built and test CRIU once with GCC and once with LLVM. That would mean 50 pull requests * running around 6 times * 2 CI setups. So maybe something like 600 runs in 6 months on average. 100 per month. The free GitHub Actions runners need around 25 minutes for building and running all tests in the last few months.

@alexellis Is that helpful?
