Feature Request: Support for ARM installations

[tekacs]

Nomad and Consul both have ARM64 distributions, which seem a fit for AWS' Graviton-based t/m/c/r6g instances.

Unfortunately, it looks like the install-nomad module in this repo (at the least) is only designed for x86-64.

I could certainly take a stab, but would it be possible to consider and add support for ARM64 to this repo, so that the modules herein can be used for deploys on those newer nodes?

Hi Amar,

It's not something we are going to prioritize on our roadmap in the near future, but we'd be more than happy to take a look at it if you want to contribute something. I would suggest adding architecture defaults and flags so its forwards compatible with any other architectures that may emerge one day. Be sure to include any relevant tests!

Regards,

Rob

It seems like there's an upstream issue to be resolved first: hashicorp/nomad#7989 so I'll wait for that to pass before taking a look at this. :)

I think that issue has recently been resolved. I think nomad v1.0.2 contains the change.
