Same here, I was unable to find the arm64 image for kanister, am I missing something or it's still in development?

What's the blocker for this to happen? I just started looking into Kanister and haven't gotten to the implementation details yet, but isn't it 'just' a Kubernetes controller acting on some CRDs?
If anything, I'd expect some specific Blueprints or actions/tasks run in specific other pods/containers to not work on ARM, but not the controller itself.

There is no blocker @mocdaniel .
The problem is if the controller docker image is built using goreleaser from an arm based machine the container image will be built for the arm platform. And if we deploy that on a k8s cluster (linux/amd64), the pod would not work properly.
Apart from that, the kanctl binary that is built right now and published is for amd64 machines, so if someone wants to use kanctl on the arm machines they will have to build the binary themselves.
These are the two problems that I am planning to fix as part of #3015.
