Upstream publishes quay.io/kubevirt/kubevirt-velero-plugin for amd64 only, so on an arm64 cluster the velero server never starts: its plugin init container fails with "exec format error". Rebuild the plugin in-tree from the v0.9.0 release tag, cross-compiled on the build platform, into an image that behaves like upstream's: it copies the plugin binary into the plugins volume at /target. The image target stamps the built reference by digest into values.yaml, and the package joins the root build list so every build path refreshes that pin. Until the first stamp is committed the upstream reference stays in place, which the chart test accepts alongside the digest-pinned in-tree one.

Reviewed statically in a hermetic clone. Built the plugin image for both platforms and confirmed the extracted binaries are correct-arch static ELF; verified both base image digests as multi-arch and exercised the init-container entrypoint. Code LGTM. Note: the E2E check is currently red only because the new image path is private on first push in the CI registry, so the init container gets a 403. It needs the image repository flipped to public, after which CI should go green. Not a code defect.

Use $(SED_INPLACE) for the values replacement.
On macOS, BSD sed requires a backup suffix after -i. The current command can fail before updating values.yaml, so make image cannot complete on macOS.

…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. - [ ] No downstream repository is affected by this change - [ ] [cozystack/website](https://github.com/cozystack/website) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ansible-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/ansible-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ccp](https://github.com/cozystack/ccp) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/talm](https://github.com/cozystack/talm) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozyhr](https://github.com/cozystack/cozyhr) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozy-proxy](https://github.com/cozystack/cozy-proxy) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/external-apps-example](https://github.com/cozystack/external-apps-example) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/examples](https://github.com/cozystack/examples) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/community](https://github.com/cozystack/community) - follow-up: ### 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.

…leases on it (#4505) ## 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 - `CACHE_TAG` in `hack/common-envs.mk` moves the default cache ref, so the arm64 build keeps a cache of its own. - `MATRIX_ARCH=arm64` makes `hack/build-matrix.sh` leave out the amd64-only e2e sandbox. - The kamaji provider image is pushed under the build's `IMAGE_TAG` like every other image. Its Makefile set `IMAGE_TAG` itself, so concurrent builds overwrote each other's component tag. Closes #4503. - `hack/nightly-mirror.sh` verifies a copy against the raw manifest digest. Plain `skopeo inspect` resolves an index to one platform's child. - matchbox is rebuilt for both platforms in the amd64 release job. The arm64 leg skips the talos package, so there is no arm64 half to stitch, and its Dockerfile only copies files, so no QEMU is needed. Releases then network-boot arm64 machines too. Closes #4524. 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 - #4552 builds the Talos installer, matchbox, Harbor and the Velero KubeVirt plugin for arm64, and adds flux-plunger, keycloak-operator, kilo and migration-controller to the root `build:` list. It replaces #4507, #4515, #4525 and #4528. - #4549 moves ingress-nginx, cozy-proxy, cozystack-scheduler and keycloak-kms-proxy to their multi-arch releases, which are already published. 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 - [x] No downstream repository is affected by this change - [ ] [cozystack/website](https://github.com/cozystack/website) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ansible-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/ansible-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ccp](https://github.com/cozystack/ccp) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/talm](https://github.com/cozystack/talm) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozyhr](https://github.com/cozystack/cozyhr) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozy-proxy](https://github.com/cozystack/cozy-proxy) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/external-apps-example](https://github.com/cozystack/external-apps-example) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/examples](https://github.com/cozystack/examples) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/community](https://github.com/cozystack/community) - follow-up: Nothing under `hack/` is moved or renamed, and no make target changes its default behaviour: `CACHE_TAG` and `MATRIX_ARCH` are opt-in.

What this PR does
The velero server can't start on arm64 nodes. Its
kubevirt-kubevirt-velero-plugininit container fails withexec /bin/sh: exec format error. Upstream publishesquay.io/kubevirt/kubevirt-velero-pluginas a single amd64 manifest with no index, both v0.9.0 and the latest v0.9.1. There was an upstream request for arm64 images, kubevirt/kubevirt-velero-plugin#256, and the stale bot closed it.This PR builds the plugin image in-tree from the v0.9.0 tag, the version the chart already runs. The builder stage cross-compiles on the build platform with
CGO_ENABLED=0, same as upstream'shack/build/build.sh. The final image matches upstream's: alpine base, the binary in/plugins/,USER nobody:nogroup, and the samecp /plugins/* /target/.entrypoint the init container needs. Both base images are pinned by digest and have arm64.The velero package gets an
imagetarget and joins the rootbuild:list, so every build path refreshes the pin. The target stamps the built ref by digest into the init container entry invalues.yaml. I usedsedon that one line becauseyq -ire-indents the list and drops blank lines in the rest of the file. Until the first CI build stamps it, the committedvalues.yamlkeeps the upstream ref, so the chart test accepts both. Once a digest-pinned ref is committed, the upstream alternative should be removed from the test.I kept v0.9.0 on purpose. v0.9.1 builds against the same velero and kubevirt API versions, but it changes what gets backed up and restored: NetworkAttachmentDefinitions join the VM backup graph, and there are new NAD restore and item block actions. That bump deserves its own PR.
Tested locally with a
docker-containerbuilder. Both platforms build, andfileshows a static x86-64 and a static aarch64 binary. The exported index lists linux/amd64 and linux/arm64. The arm64 image with its stock entrypoint copies the plugin into a mounted/targetasnobody.hack/image-builders-cross-compile.bats,hack/image-targets-pass-buildx-args.bats,hack/build-matrix_test.bats,hack/promote-rewrite-tags_test.batsand the velero helm unit tests pass.kubevirt-velero-pluginis a new repository in the CI registry, and OCIR creates new repositories as private on first push. Until it is made public, e2e pulls of it fail with 403 and a rerun does not help. I will flip it once the first build of this PR has pushed it.Screenshots
