What this PR does

Pre-release builds now publish every image as an amd64 and arm64 index, and a release fails if anything it ships is single-arch. Main, release lines and pull requests keep building amd64 only. It builds on #4498, which made every image buildable for both architectures. Part of #1961.

This PR is on hold until everything under "Merge after" has landed. Merged earlier, the new gate fails the next rc on the images those PRs fix.

How a pre-release is built

A pre-release tag gets a second job, for arm64, next to the existing release job. That covers -rc.N, -beta.N and -alpha.N tags. It runs on the CNCF arm64 pool (oracle-vm-24cpu-96gb-arm64), builds the same images with PLATFORM=linux/arm64, and pushes them as <tag>-arm64. prepare-release waits for it, and if the arm64 job fails the rc fails with it. There is no amd64-only fallback. Stable tags do not run it: promotion copies the rc digests with skopeo copy --multi-arch all, so a stable release inherits the indexes.

After the amd64 build, the stitch joins each amd64 image with its arm64 twin into one index. It lives in hack/stitch-multiarch.sh. Every tag of the amd64 image moves to the index, the component-versioned ones included. The script then rewrites the digests in the tree and republishes the packages artifact and the installer chart pinned on them. It reads refs through hack/lib/image-refs.sh, and it fails if an old digest survives anywhere outside charts/.

The gate

A new check fails the rc when a pinned digest in the tree is not an index with both linux/amd64 and linux/arm64. It lives in hack/verify-multiarch.sh. It checks first-party and third-party refs alike. Images that are amd64 by nature go into hack/multiarch-allowlist, one repository per line, each with a mandatory reason. Today that is only the e2e sandbox. An entry that matches nothing is reported as stale.

The static gate only sees digest-pinned refs in the tree. A tag-only ref, an image from a vendored chart default, or one an operator starts at runtime is invisible to it. So the rc e2e also audits every image its nodes pulled, with the same check and the same allowlist. Neither covers a package the e2e never installs.

Nightly

A new nightly workflow builds main for arm64. It keeps the arm64 build cache warm, since the rc job only reads it. It also prints the single-arch refs that would block the next rc. Nothing it builds is published.

Smaller changes

The stitch also rewrites the kamaji ref inside files/components.gz, recompressed with gzip -n so the bytes are reproducible, so the kamaji control-plane provider ships multi-arch too. keda and kuberture now name the repository next to their pinned digest, so the gate can resolve them; their rendered manifests do not change.

Merge after

The rest of the stack is merged: #4485, #4498, #4512, #4517, #4521 and #4522 here, and the multi-arch PRs in ingress-nginx-with-protobuf-exporter, cozy-proxy, cozystack-scheduler and keycloak-kms-proxy.

Verification

The bats suites pass: stitch, verify-multiarch, build-matrix, common-envs, nightly-mirror and the release contracts. The first three also pass under hack/cozytest.sh with dash. Each new test was red before its implementation, and the verify-multiarch and stitch tests each have a mutation that turns them red. I ran verify-multiarch --report against main. It lists the first-party refs the stitch will fix, plus the third-party and special cases above. The workflows have not run yet. The arm64 job's tools and duration, the stitch against real registries, and the audit are checked for the first time on the nightly and on the next rc.

Screenshots

Not a UI change.

Downstream repositories

Nothing under hack/ is moved or renamed, and no make target changes its default behaviour: CACHE_TAG and MATRIX_ARCH are opt-in. The satellite repositories listed under "Merge after" are prerequisites, not follow-ups this change forces on them.

Release note

ci(release): pre-release builds publish every image as an amd64 and arm64 multi-arch index, and a release fails if any image it ships or pulls in e2e lacks either architecture. Stable releases inherit the indexes through promotion.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Release candidates now build amd64 and arm64 images in parallel and combine eligible images into verified multi-architecture indexes before publication.
    • A nightly arm64 image build is available for testing and supplies a build cache for release-candidate builds.
  • Bug Fixes
    • End-to-end checks audit whether pulled images support both architectures. Audit failures block prerelease checks, while stable releases continue with a warning.
    • End-to-end test artifacts now include collected image references and multi-architecture audit results.
  • Documentation
    • Updated release and image guidance covers multi-architecture builds, verification checks, and troubleshooting, including arm64 build and stitching failures.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds native arm64 image builds and tools to stitch and verify multi-architecture indexes. It updates release and E2E workflows to use those indexes, and changes image-tag logging, cache selection, and arm64 build-matrix behavior.

Changes

Multi-architecture image build and release pipeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Image build tags, cache, and matrix
.github/actionlint.yaml, hack/common-envs.mk, hack/common-envs_test.bats, hack/build-matrix.sh, hack/build-matrix_test.bats, packages/system/capi-providers-cpprovider/Makefile, packages/system/keda/values.yaml, packages/system/kuberture/values.yaml, docs/agents/overview.md
Image tag generation can log pushed tags, and cache tags can be configured. The arm64 build matrix excludes packages/core/testing. The Kamaji provider build uses its component version for its pinned reference and tags. KEDA and Kuberture image repositories are explicit.
Stitch and verify image indexes
hack/stitch-multiarch.sh, hack/stitch-multiarch_test.bats, hack/verify-multiarch.sh, hack/verify-multiarch_test.bats, hack/nightly-mirror.sh, hack/nightly-mirror_test.bats, hack/lib/image-refs.sh, hack/multiarch-allowlist, docs/agents/image-refs.md
New tools stitch amd64 and arm64 images into indexes, repin references, and verify platform coverage. The tools support allowlisted repositories and registry retries. Nightly mirror verification hashes the raw manifest.
Scheduled arm64 image build
.github/workflows/build-arm64-nightly.yaml, hack/verify-multiarch_test.bats
A scheduled or manually triggered workflow checks image refs before building arm64 images and the installer operator image. It writes the arm64 build cache and disables versioned and floating publication.
E2E image reference audit
hack/collect-images.sh, hack/collect-images_test.bats, packages/core/testing/Makefile, .github/workflows/e2e-tag.yaml
Image collection records resolved repository-and-digest refs when node reads succeed. The E2E workflow audits and uploads those refs and the audit output. Prerelease audit failures fail the step; stable-tag failures produce warnings.
Parallel builds and release preparation
.github/workflows/tags.yaml, hack/stitch-multiarch_test.bats, docs/release.md
The tag workflow builds amd64 and arm64 images separately, then stitches and verifies indexes during release preparation. It republishes the installer package and chart and uses amd64 build outputs for release operations.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 13a77

This change moves pre-releases to multi-architecture image publishing, but several release-pipeline issues remain open. Pinned references could be rewritten to the wrong repository's index. The E2E audit could check stale image lists. Stable-tag audits could fail when they should only warn. Release preparation still has credential and toolchain-pinning gaps. Resolve these before relying on the new release flow.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 13a77

The new checks substantially strengthen multi-architecture releases, but two release-integrity boundaries merit review: digest rewriting can lose image-repository identity under a shared-digest condition, and the audit of images actually pulled during testing runs after a release candidate is published.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Digest-only replacement can assign one repository's index pin to another repository that shares its original amd64 digest. A platform-only check need not detect an accessible but unintended index.
  • Medium · reliability · inferred: The check of images pulled during E2E testing runs after RC publication. If it finds an unpinned single-architecture image, the workflow can fail while the RC remains published.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A misassigned pin would affect release artifacts built from the repinned packages tree and consumers of that image reference. The examined workflow is triggered by versioned tag pushes; the test harness marked as a public entrypoint does not itself expose a production entrypoint.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The conditional integrity path starts with two repositories sharing an amd64 manifest digest. A global replacement of that digest can put the first repository's index pin in the second repository's reference; the verifier checks platform entries but not repository-specific child-image identity. Production occurrence and cross-repository index readability remain unproven.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Registry writes are limited to the release build path. Before publication, release preparation checks the rewritten tree's pinned manifests; allowlisting cannot excuse an unreadable manifest, and the arm64 build has read-only repository contents permission.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The prepublication tree check contains many partial-stitch failures, while the later E2E audit covers pulled images that the static tree check cannot see. That later coverage cannot prevent an already completed RC publication.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Scope pin replacement to the complete repository-and-digest reference, and verify that each rewritten repository resolves to the index assembled for its own architecture-specific images.
  • proposed — If the pulled-image audit is intended to block publication, make its successful result a prerequisite for publishing the RC, or define an explicit response for an audit failure after publication.

Without --raw, skopeo inspect resolves a multi-arch index to the child
manifest for the host platform and reports that digest. The tree pins
the index digest, so once main publishes indexes every mirrored image
would fail its own post-copy verification. Hash the raw manifest
instead, which is the digest the tree pins for an index and a single
manifest alike.

A native arm64 leg builds the same images next to the amd64 build and
must not overwrite the cache that build owns. CACHE_TAG moves the
default cache ref, so the leg can write buildcache-arm64 without every
write evicting the amd64 cache layers, and without a change to each
package Makefile. An explicit per-call cache tag still wins.

The release gate reads only refs the tree pins by digest, so an image
a vendored chart renders from its defaults, or one an operator
launches, can still be amd64 only. The rc e2e now reads what the
three Talos nodes actually pulled from their image stores, each by the
digest the pull resolved to, and runs verify-multiarch on that list
before the sandbox is torn down. The image store, not the running
pods, because the tests delete what they create.

collect-images.sh writes that list only when every node answered, so
a node that could not be read fails the audit instead of passing the
images only it held. A pre-release fails on the audit; a stable tag's
run only warns, as it ships its rc's images unchanged.

The audit runs in the tree of the tag under test, so a tag cut before
it existed has neither the script nor the image list. That run warns
and skips instead of failing, so such an rc can still be re-validated
from main; a tree that has the script and no list still fails.

Reviewed statically in a hermetic clone. Ran the bats suites that completed (build-matrix, common-envs, nightly-mirror, collect-images, all green) and traced the stitch and verify-multiarch logic by hand where the heavy multi-arch builds could not finish locally. Code LGTM. Minor non-blocking notes only. Leaving the hold and the Merge after ordering to you.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Handle tool installation failure under the stable-tag policy.

If either tool is missing and apt-get fails, the audit step exits before the status branch. A stable-tag E2E job then fails instead of reporting an audit warning. Capture installation failure as an audit failure and pass it through the existing prerelease-versus-stable handling.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Narrow the "not found" match in manifest_digest.

The pattern manifest unknown|not found|404 also matches unrelated failures. Examples are repository name not known variants, no such host-style messages that contain "not found", and credential helper errors such as credential helper not found. In each of these cases the function returns an empty digest and a zero status. On line 207 the caller then treats the empty digest as "no arm64 image" and skips the image. The run succeeds, and the image stays amd64-only. The skip still prints a warning, and verify-multiarch.sh fails the rc later, so the release does not ship broken. The operator still gets a misleading reason. Match only the registry's manifest-unknown answer.

Proposed fix
-  if grep -qiE 'manifest unknown|not found|404' "$_md_err"; then
+  if grep -qiE 'manifest unknown|MANIFEST_UNKNOWN|status:? 404|status code 404' "$_md_err"; then

Remove the host reference file before each collection.

If a previous collection created _out/image-refs.txt and a later node read fails, hack/collect-images.sh removes only the sandbox copy. The new docker cp fails, but the old host file remains. The workflow ignores the collection failure and can audit the old list instead of the images from the current run. Remove the host file before docker exec, then copy only a newly produced file.

…unlisted images for arm64 (#4552)

## What this PR does

This brings together four approved PRs that give the remaining
first-party images an arm64 build. Each of them lost its approval when
#4498 merged and GitHub retargeted it to main, so I merged them into one
branch to review and approve once. Each original PR has the full
description and review history, and I'll close them in favour of this
one.

- #4507 builds the Talos installer and matchbox for arm64. Releases also
publish the arm64 ISO, disk images, kernel and initramfs.
- #4515 builds the KubeVirt Velero plugin in-tree for amd64 and arm64.
- #4525 adds flux-plunger, keycloak-operator, kilo and
migration-controller to the root `build:` list, so CI rebuilds them like
every other image. A test keeps any new image target from being left
out.
- #4528 rebuilds the Harbor v2.15.1 images for amd64 and arm64, because
upstream publishes v2.15 for amd64 only.

Release builds still run with `PLATFORM=linux/amd64`, except the Talos
installer, so these images ship arm64 only once #4505 adds the arm64
leg. This PR makes that leg buildable.

A few commits are new on top of the originals. The velero test no longer
pins the plugin's image string, because the release build stamps its own
rebuild over it. It now checks the plugin init container by repository
name. A promote-retag test comment now says what it guards, and the
image-refs doc no longer calls its fixed gaps open. The merge with main
keeps the Harbor portal in the list of stages whose output has no
architecture.

### Screenshots

Not a UI change.

### Downstream repositories

I left every box empty and opened nothing in other repositories. Two
repositories are touched, and neither follow-up is needed before this
merges:

- cozystack/website names the amd64 assets in
`content/en/docs/next/install/talos/iso.md` and
`install/providers/oracle-cloud.md`. The install pages could offer the
arm64 downloads once a release carries them. No asset is renamed, so the
current links keep working.
- cozystack/talm points at `ghcr.io/cozystack/cozystack/talos:<version>`
in `charts/cozystack/values.yaml`. Once a release publishes that tag as
a two-arch index, the same reference works on arm64 nodes, so nothing
there has to change.

### Release note

```release-note
feat(talos): the Talos installer image is built for amd64 and arm64, with arm64 profiles that carry drbd and zfs, and the bootbox matchbox image network-boots arm64 machines as well as amd64 ones. Releases publish the arm64 Talos ISO, disk images, kernel and initramfs.
feat(velero): the KubeVirt Velero plugin is now built in-tree for amd64 and arm64, so the velero server starts on arm64 clusters.
build: flux-plunger, keycloak-operator, kilo and migration-controller are now rebuilt by CI like every other first-party image, so their pinned images pick up source patches and base-image updates and are published for amd64 and arm64.
feat(harbor): the Harbor application now runs on arm64 nodes. Its component images are rebuilt from the pinned upstream v2.15.1 release for amd64 and arm64, because upstream publishes v2.15 images for amd64 only.
```

Security Misconfiguration

Reachability: Internal
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-522 — Insufficiently Protected Credentials

Disable persisted checkout credentials in prepare-release.

build-amd64 disables persisted credentials, but the prepare-release checkout does not. GitHub Actions therefore stores GITHUB_TOKEN in .git/config as an extraheader before running the stitch and image build commands. Those commands run on the patched tree and can access the token. Set persist-credentials: false for this checkout. The later push steps configure their own APP_TOKEN remote URL.

Proposed fix

Pin the flux version in prepare-release.

build-amd64 installs flux pinned to FLUX_VERSION: "2.8.6". This step pipes the unpinned install.sh straight into sudo bash, so it installs the latest flux release. make ... image-packages republishes the packages artifact with that flux. The republished artifact can then be built with a different flux than the one used to build it. Reuse the same pinned install that build-amd64 uses.

matchbox already carries the kernel and initramfs of both arches, but
the release built it for amd64 only: the arm64 leg skips the talos
package, so there is no arm64 half to stitch, and the gate let it
through on an allowlist entry. Its Dockerfile only copies files, so the
amd64 job now rebuilds it for both platforms on a docker-container
builder and the stamped ref pins the index. The allowlist entry goes.

tags.yaml only runs on tags, so no pull request exercises it. The
matchbox rebuild is the only thing that makes its ref an index, and
losing the step, moving it past the tree capture or letting it switch
the default builder would surface as a failed gate on the next rc. The
comments that called the talos images amd64 only now say they are
built for both arches in the amd64 job.

Pin the flux version in build-arm64 or remove the install.

This step runs the unpinned install.sh through sudo bash. build-amd64 pins FLUX_VERSION: "2.8.6". The arm64 build loop does not run image-packages, so the arm64 job may not need flux. If the arm64 job does not need flux, remove the install. If it does need flux, reuse the pinned install from build-amd64. An unpinned install makes the arm64 toolchain drift from the amd64 toolchain. It also runs mutable remote code as root.

Scope digest replacement to the repository.

If two repositories pin the same amd64 digest but have different arm64 images, this replacement changes both repositories’ references to the first repository’s index digest. The second repository’s pass then cannot correct its references because the original digest is gone. Those references can point to an index absent from their repository. Match the repository as well as the digest in both the plain-file and gzip rewrites. Keep the leftover check scoped to the repository being stitched.

Disable persisted checkout credentials in prepare-release.

build-amd64 sets persist-credentials: false. The prepare-release checkout does not set it.

…n rc

The amd64 release job builds the Talos installer and matchbox for both
arches, so the pages that said CI never builds both in one job, and
that build-amd64 builds amd64 only, were wrong. Every rc stitch also
skips matchbox and the e2e sandbox, and the nightly report lists
matchbox and the refs an in-tree rebuild stamps over; the page said
every such skip and line fails the next rc. Name the ones that do not.

The release job now builds the Talos installer for both arches, so
_out/assets holds an arm64 tarball next to the amd64 one. Both are the

prepare-release now runs flux push artifact to publish the rc's packages
artifact, and it installed whatever flux was latest, while build-amd64
and the candidate checks pin one version. It installs that version now.
The arm64 leg and the nightly never run flux, so they no longer install
it. The rc-e2e comment gave a stable tag as the reason for its
!cancelled(), but the job only runs for an rc; it now says it follows
the rule every job below build-arm64 has.

Verdict

LGTM with non-blocking notes

This is release-tooling only. The single cluster-facing change (the keda and kuberture values) renders byte-for-byte identical at merge-base and at head: the added registry/repository equal the subchart defaults and exist only so the digest-pinned ref is complete in the file the release tooling reads. Every release gate fails closed, and the whole pipeline first runs after merge, by design. Tested against origin/main (b314514950); the only drift on main since this branch is an unrelated chart bump.

Four notes below, none blocking. Each one fails a release closed rather than shipping a single-arch image, so the failure direction is a blocked release, never a bad ship.

What I checked

  • Both charts render identically base to head (helm template).
  • Gates fail closed: a jq/parse error aborts under set -e (confirmed in dash and bash); a rate-limited or unreadable ref lands in bad, never a silent skip; the e2e audit exit 1s for any *-* tag and warns only for stable, which inherits its rc indexes. Neutering the verify-multiarch exit reddens 4 of its 8 own tests, so the suite is not vacuous.
  • All six new or edited bats suites pass offline.
  • collect-images.sh failing on an unreadable node leaves no image-refs.txt, which fails the pre-release audit closed.

Findings

  • [MINOR] .github/workflows/tags.yaml:362, "Re-run all jobs" on a failed rc hits a 409 on the immutable v4 artifact
  • [MINOR] hack/stitch-multiarch.sh:101, manifest_digest treats any stderr containing "not found"/"404" as "image absent"
  • [MINOR] .github/workflows/e2e-tag.yaml:336, the audit and the release gate hit docker.io anonymously, a new rate-limit flake source

First-run risks and smaller notes

Static review cannot settle these; they run for the first time on the next nightly and rc, against live registries:

  • The arm64 build itself, the stitch against real registries, and whether talosctl images ls on the x86 sandbox reports the pulled index digest or the amd64 child. If it reports the child, the audit over-blocks every multi-arch image, which is again a blocked release rather than a bad ship.
  • -beta.N and -alpha.N tags get the static gate but not the runtime audit (rc-e2e runs only for -rc.); stable inherits from a fully-audited rc.
  • Disclosed in the PR body: an image neither pinned in the tree nor pulled in e2e is covered by neither gate. That is an improvement over the prior single-arch state, not a regression.

NIT: each rc leaves roughly fifty vX.Y.Z-rc.N-arm64 tags in GHCR that the stitch does not move and neither promote-retag.sh nor nightly-mirror.sh ever touches. Cosmetic, but they accumulate in the package UI over time.

[MINOR] "Re-run all jobs" on a failed rc hits a 409 on the immutable v4 artifact

actions/upload-artifact@v4 artifacts are immutable within a run and the default overwrite is false. If an rc run fails inside prepare-release before the draft is created (so release_exists stays false), "Re-run all jobs" re-runs build-amd64, which rebuilds and re-pushes every image (moving the rc and component tags back onto amd64-only), and then this upload step fails with 409 Conflict: an artifact with this name already exists on the workflow run. The job goes red, prepare-release is skipped, and the images are left single-arch until a clean run. Only "Re-run failed jobs" works, which the comments imply but do not state. overwrite: true on both upload steps would make "Re-run all jobs" work too. Non-blocking: the release still fails closed.

[MINOR] manifest_digest treats any stderr containing "not found"/"404" as "image absent"

grep -qiE 'manifest unknown|not found|404' classifies a missing manifest, but it also matches unrelated skopeo errors, e.g. a credential-helper failure (executable file not found in $PATH) or a network resolution error. Such an error would return empty, print skipping <name>: no <tag>-arm64 image for every image, and rewrite nothing. This is not a silent single-arch ship: verify-multiarch.sh runs right after with the same skopeo and fails the release closed. The cost is a misleading diagnosis in the log ("no arm64 image" instead of the real error) across ~50 warnings. On these ephemeral runners the credsStore trigger is unlikely (login-action writes a plaintext auth to runner.temp/.docker), so this is a latent robustness note rather than a live bug. Narrowing to skopeo's own phrasing (manifest unknown, MANIFEST_UNKNOWN, NAME_UNKNOWN) and returning non-zero on anything else would remove the ambiguity.

[MINOR] the audit and the release gate hit docker.io anonymously, a new rate-limit flake source

The e2e audit here and the Stitch multi-arch indexes and republish gate in tags.yaml both read registry manifests with skopeo directly against docker.io, with no login and no mirror, while node pulls go through mirror.gcr.io (hack/e2e-prepare-cluster.bats) and buildkit through hack/buildkitd.toml. The tree pins docker.io refs (goharbor, grafana, otel, busybox, clastix, alpine/k8s), and the e2e pulled-image list has more. Anonymous docker.io is rate-limited to 100 pulls per 6h per IP, and inspect --raw counts; the Oracle runner pool shares a NAT IP. For a pre-release this is exit 1 (fail-closed, correct), but it is a new flake source on shared infrastructure. A skopeo login docker.io in both steps, or substituting mirror.gcr.io for docker.io/ refs, would remove it.
