What is this change about?

Adds ARM64 (arm64) stemcell build support so Cloud Foundry can run on AWS
Graviton and other ARM64 processors. The change makes both stemcell build
stages arch-aware — the OS-image build (stemcell:build_os_image) and the
stemcell build that turns an OS image into a deployable stemcell
(stemcell:build).

Architecture is threaded through as an optional rake parameter that defaults to
amd64, so existing x86_64 stemcell builds are byte-identical and unaffected.
ARM64 is opt-in via the arm64 rake argument. In the CI layer
(ci/tasks/*.yml), STEMCELL_ARCH is a required parameter and the amd64 jobs
pass amd64 explicitly. amd64 stemcell and archive names carry no arch suffix;
only arm64 gets -arm64. Defaults in the Ruby and shell layers are left as they
are for now.

Ruby orchestration

• Definition carries an architecture (default amd64); the arch is
  appended to the stemcell name only for non-amd64 builds (so amd64 names
  are byte-identical), and is included in equality.
• BuilderOptions emits a stemcell_arch build setting.
• Infrastructure#architecture_name maps the arch to the manifest
  cloud_properties.architecture value: amd64→x86_64, arm64→aarch64,
  and any other value raises. Infrastructure::Aws overrides arm64 to arm64,
  because EC2 RegisterImage accepts arm64 and not aarch64. The AWS CPI
  passes the value through unchanged.
• The build_os_image and build rake tasks accept an optional
  architecture argument (defaults to amd64).

OS-image build stages (arch-conditional; amd64 path unchanged)

• New stemcell_target_arch helper derives the target arch from the
  bootstrapped rootfs (dpkg --print-architecture), which is reliably available
  to every stage regardless of how build settings propagate.
• base_debootstrap: debootstrap --arch honors the target arch and
  defaults arm64 to the ports.ubuntu.com mirror (archive.ubuntu.com has no
  arm64 packages).
• base_apt: writes ports.ubuntu.com apt sources for arm64.
• system_grub: installs grub-efi-arm64* (arm64 has no grub2
  metapackage).
• image_install_grub: uses --target=arm64-efi and skips the i386-pc
  BIOS fallback on arm64 (ARM64 is UEFI-only).
• password_policies: derives the multiarch triplet from a new
  stemcell_gnu_arch helper (Ruby counterpart: Bosh::Stemcell::Arch.gnu_arch),
  which maps amd64→x86_64 and arm64→aarch64 and fails on anything else.
• base_apt / specs: the apt source check uses one shared regex covering the
  archive, ports, security and snapshot hosts.

Stemcell build stages (arch-conditional; amd64 path unchanged)

• bosh_go_agent: installs bosh-agent-<ver>-linux-<arch> via the agent
  metalink (was hardcoded -amd64). It uses the meta4 provided by the
  builder image (installed for both architectures) instead of downloading an
  amd64 release binary, and fails with a clear message if it is missing.
• blobstore_clis: on non-amd64, reads
  <cli>.linux-<arch>.url/.sha256sum for the four blobstore CLIs
  (dav/gcs/s3/azure-storage) and fails with a clear message when a build is not
  configured.
• static_libraries_config: amd64 keeps static_libraries_list.txt
  unchanged; arm64 uses static_libraries_list_arm64.txt (same list with
  aarch64-linux-gnu paths). The stage selects by architecture and fails if the
  list is missing.
• ci/tasks/build.sh and ci/tasks/os-images/build.sh: require
  STEMCELL_ARCH and append an -<arch> suffix to the stemcell name, index
  path and raw archive (...-raw-arm64.tgz) for non-amd64 builds, matching
  Definition#stemcell_name, so arm64 artifacts never collide with amd64.

Builder image (ci/docker/os-image-stemcell-builder/Dockerfile)

• Split into BuildKit stages so VMware's ovftool — which has no arm64 Linux
  build, and whose target (vSphere) is not an arm64 target — is only added and
  installed on amd64 (ovftool-${TARGETARCH}). On arm64 that stage is a no-op
  passthrough, so the arm64 image builds without an ovftool bundle in the
  context.
• meta4 is installed from the published release binary on amd64, and built
  from source at META4_VERSION on arm64 (dpb587/metalink publishes no arm64
  binary).
• build-docker-args.sh selects arm64 vs amd64 asset URLs (meta4/syft/yq)
  from uname -m and emits META4_VERSION.

CI pipeline (ci/pipeline-template.yml)

• Adds dormant arm64 jobs — build-os-image-arm64,
  build-os-image-stemcell-builder-arm64, and build-aws-xen-hvm-arm64 — plus
  their own -arm64 tarball/version/registry-image and stemcell-index
  resources. Task steps are tags: [arm64] and publish to separate -arm64
  resources. Steps that use the amd64-only custom resource images
  (metalink-repository-resource, gcs-resource) are not tagged, so they run on
  the existing workers. The existing amd64 jobs only gain an explicit
  STEMCELL_ARCH: amd64 param; a rendered diff shows no other change to them. The jobs
  stay dormant until an arm64-tagged worker is registered (RFC D3).

Tests

• Unit specs cover the arch parameter, the name suffix, and the manifest
  mapping (definition_spec, builder_options_spec, stemcell_packager_spec).
• os_image spec is made arch-aware (apt mirror, grub package,
  gfxblacklist.txt, PAM multiarch path).
• stemcell_shared_examples keeps the strict /lib64 ownership check and tags
  it exclude_on_arm64, since arm64 has no /lib64 (it uses
  /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1). build_environment passes
  --tag ~exclude_on_<arch> for every architecture, amd64 included.
• spec/assets/dpkg-list-ubuntu-arm64.txt is the package list for arm64
  stemcells (package names carry the architecture, so the amd64 list can't be
  reused). It was captured from the stemcell built on Graviton, and the spec
  picks it by host architecture.

Please provide contextual information.

• Part of RFC #1530 — ARM64 (aarch64) Architecture Support for Cloud Foundry:
  RFC: ARM64 (aarch64) Architecture Support for Cloud Foundry community#1530
• This is the foundational "stemcell" deliverable (Phase 1) — the gate the rest
  of the ARM64 effort depends on.
• Upstream prerequisites to enable the dormant CI job (not blockers for this
  PR's code):
  • A published linux-arm64 BOSH agent artifact listed in the agent
    metalink (companion work: cloudfoundry/bosh-agent). The stage already reads
    it per-arch; it just needs the artifact to exist.
  • Published linux-arm64 builds of the four blobstore CLIs
    (bosh-davcli, bosh-gcscli, bosh-s3cli, bosh-azure-storage-cli). The stage
    reads them per-arch via <cli>.linux-arm64.url assets.
  • An ARM64 CI worker for the dormant pipeline job (RFC D3).

What tests have you run against this PR?

Validated on AWS Graviton (t4g.xlarge, Ubuntu Noble arm64):

• ARM64 OS-image build — rake stemcell:build_os_image[ubuntu,noble,<path>,arm64]
  completes end-to-end with no manual mirror configuration (arm64
  auto-selects the ports mirror). The os_image verification suite passes
  377 examples, 0 failures against the built arm64 image.
• ARM64 stemcell build — rake stemcell:build[aws,xen-hvm,ubuntu,noble,<path>,0000,arm64]
  builds a full arm64 AWS stemcell end-to-end. The produced image was verified
  to carry:
  • manifest architecture: arm64 for AWS, name
    bosh-aws-xen-hvm-ubuntu-noble-arm64;
  • an aarch64 bosh-agent (ELF ARM aarch64);
  • aarch64 blobstore CLIs (dav/gcs/s3/azure-storage);
  • arm64-efi GRUB (BOOTAA64.EFI, grubaa64.efi, arm64-efi/core.efi);
  • /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 present (no /lib64).
• Stemcell RSpec suite on the built arm64 image: 567 examples, 0 failures,
  1 pending, and rake stemcell:build exits 0.
• Ruby unit specs (spec/bosh): 236 examples, 0 failures (the base
  branch has 218); standardrb is clean.
• The ytt pipeline template renders and passes fly validate-pipeline --strict;
  build-docker-args selectors were checked against live GitHub releases.
• amd64 build path is unchanged: stemcell names (30 Ruby combinations and 9
  ci/tasks/build.sh combinations) were compared against the base branch and
  are identical, and the rendered amd64 pipeline differs only by the explicit
  STEMCELL_ARCH: amd64 param.

Not tested: the pipeline on a live Concourse, the amd64 stemcell build with the
builder image's meta4 (CI will exercise it), and any IaaS other than AWS.

Validation harness (not committed)

Because upstream publishes no linux-arm64 build of the BOSH agent or the four
blobstore CLIs yet, the Graviton validation supplied them locally: the four
CLIs were cross-compiled from their upstream Go sources, and the agent + CLIs
were referenced through test-only file:// metalink/url assets. None of
that scaffolding is in this PR — the committed code contains only the generic
per-arch logic. Publishing those arm64 binaries upstream is the remaining
prerequisite for the dormant CI job to run unattended.

How to reproduce (no pipeline changes required)

On an ARM64 host (e.g. an AWS Graviton instance) with the build prerequisites:

# 1. Build the ARM64 Noble OS image — arch is the 4th rake argument.
bundle exec rake "stemcell:build_os_image[ubuntu,noble,${PWD}/tmp/noble_arm64.tgz,arm64]"

# 2. Build the full ARM64 AWS stemcell from that OS image.
#    (Supply linux-arm64 agent + blobstore CLI assets as described above until
#     upstream publishes them.)
bundle exec rake "stemcell:build[aws,xen-hvm,ubuntu,noble,${PWD}/tmp/noble_arm64.tgz,0000,arm64]"

# 3. Run the verification suites against the produced image.
cd bosh-stemcell && OS_IMAGE=${PWD}/../tmp/noble_arm64.tgz bundle exec rspec spec/os_image/ubuntu_spec.rb

ARM64 is triggered purely by the arm64 rake argument (or the equivalent
STEMCELL_ARCH=arm64 CI task param). Reviewers do not need to edit or run a
Concourse pipeline to validate this — the rake commands above reproduce the
build directly. Omitting the argument (or leaving STEMCELL_ARCH at its
amd64 default) produces the existing amd64 stemcell unchanged.

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

No for the stemcell content. ARM64 is additive and opt-in: the arch is only
embedded in names for non-amd64 builds, the amd64 stage paths are unchanged, and
the new pipeline jobs/resources are dormant arm64-only additions.

One thing for CI consumers: ci/tasks/build.yml and
ci/tasks/os-images/build.yml now declare STEMCELL_ARCH as a required param.
Pipelines in this repo pass amd64 explicitly. Any other pipeline that runs
these tasks must set it.

AI Review Feedback

CodeRabbit and Copilot findings are addressed in separate commits (the manifest
architecture mapping, the custom-resource tags and the raw archive glob).

[coderabbitai]

Walkthrough

Stemcell build tasks now accept an architecture, with amd64 as the default. Definitions, generated options, package metadata, and image-building stages use architecture-specific values. The CI pipeline adds ARM64 builder-image, OS-image, and AWS Xen HVM stemcell jobs with separate artifact and index resources.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 084c1

The arm64 OS-image and stemcell builds introduced here fail unless the arm64 agent metalink entry and the arm64 blobstore CLI assets are published or supplied. amd64 builds are not affected. Resolve both asset gaps, or confirm that the arm64 jobs stay disabled, before merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "feat: Add ARM64 (arm64) stemcell build support" matches the main change in the changeset. The PR threads an optional architecture argument through the rake tasks, Definition, infrastructure mapping, OS-image and stemcell build stages, and CI tasks, all to support arm64 stemcell builds. The title is short, specific, and follows a conventional-commit style.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository's merge-forward template only in part. The template asks for a merge-forward target branch and an AI Review Feedback section. The description has no statement about the target branch or merge-forward chain, and it does not say whether the PR is opened against ubuntu-jammy, the oldest applicable branch. The AI Review Feedback section is partly covered: it says CodeRabbit and Copilot findings were addressed in separate commits, but it does not confirm that every AI review thread is resolved. The rest of the description is detailed and complete. It covers what changed, the reasons, contextual links to RFC #1530, test results, reproduction steps, and breaking-change impact.

Resolution

Add a merge-forward note that states the target branch. Confirm that the PR targets the oldest applicable branch in the ubuntu-jammy → ubuntu-noble → ubuntu-resolute chain. Confirm that all CodeRabbit and Copilot review threads are resolved, or reply to each open thread and resolve it, as the template requires.

I'm not sure we gain a lot by adding this conditional here since the regexs are already fairly complex.

Seems possibly simpler to add ports| to (archive|snapshot) and let the matches handle x84 or arm.

... if doing so would be unsafe I'm fine with if / else but it seems more confusing, and possibly harder to correctly update if one of the three changes (ex noble-updates -> noble-fixes would mean changing two lines).

On further reflection maybe we should use a common regex that matches all the entries and only assert on the "listings" => noble ... noble-updates ... noble-security ... portions:

"deb http:\/\/(archive|ports|security|snapshot).ubuntu.com\/ubuntu(|\/\d*T\d*Z) ${listing}"

[vighes]

Thanks, done in 067ddc2. It's now a single regex covering the archive, ports, security and snapshot hosts, asserted once per listing. One adjustment to the snippet - arm64's mirror path is ubuntu-ports, so it needs an optional (-ports)? after ubuntu.

[aramprice]

Seems like Bosh::Stemcell::Arch should be able to return the right value (x86_64 or aarch64) allowing this to be simplified to:

describe file("/lib/#{Bosh::Stemcell::Arch.gnu_arch}-linux-gnu/security/pam_pwquality.so") do

Note: no idea if #gnu_arch is a good name here.

[vighes]

Done in 43946d5. Bosh::Stemcell::Arch.gnu_arch returns x86_64 or aarch64

[aramprice]

See above about not defaulting.

[vighes]

Same change, see f683baa.

[aramprice]

Comments don't age well and can make merging forward across supported version-lines more difficult.

Consider moving this to the commit message if it has value.

Same for the subsequent comments below.

[vighes]

Done in 0c7c028. I removed the comment blocks above the arm64 jobs and resources in pipeline-template.yml and trimmed similar status and RFC narration elsewhere.

[aramprice]

Could the meta4 binary be installed on all stemcell builder images allowing this whole block of code to be simplified or removed?

[vighes]

Done in 7d1b1e7. The stage no longer downloads meta4, it uses the one already on PATH from the os-image-stemcell-builder image (which installs it for both architectures) and fails with a clear message if it's missing. One thing to flag: amd64 now uses the image's meta4 instead of the pinned v0.2.0 download, so CI is where that gets exercised.

[aramprice]

Q: do we still support non-UEFI systems?

cc @rkoster / @beyhan

[rkoster]

Probably a separate discussion to be held. Would base that on if there are still non EFI machine types around in the major cloud providers.

[vighes]

Thanks @rkoster. amd64 is unchanged here and arm64 is UEFI-only. Happy to follow the separate discussion on whether non-EFI machine types still matter.

[aramprice]

Can there be a method to return aarch64 or x86_64 allowing the interpolation to be simplified:

"/usr/lib/${aarch_name}-linux-gnu/security/"

aarch_name is an example only

[vighes]

Done in 43946d5. Added Bosh::Stemcell::Arch.gnu_arch for the specs and stemcell_gnu_arch in helpers.sh for the stages. Both map to x86_64 or aarch64, and the shell one fails on an unknown architecture.

[aramprice]

It seems likely that the content of these files might drift - maybe better to maintain one for each arch and avoid the sed?

[vighes]

Done in 9e80843. amd64 keeps static_libraries_list.txt unchanged. arm64 gets its own static_libraries_list_arm64.txt (same list with aarch64 paths), and the stage picks the file by architecture and fails if it's missing.

[aramprice]

Thank you for all the work! I'm excited to see this land.

I dropped a bunch of comments, most of them aren't blocking though I would like for us to come up with an alternative to the various conditionals in specs, and possibly in the stage files as well. I'm not sure what the right approach is but it seems like ARCH should be a first-class concept in the builder rather than a grab-bag of conditionals spread across the codebase.

Happy to chat more. I'll try to put together some ideas once I'm no longer fighting a cold.

[Copilot]

🟡 Changes recommended

AWS AMI registration uses the unsupported architecture value aarch64, native ARM64 publication depends on an amd64-only resource image, and OpenStack raw artifacts are silently omitted.

3 open issues

• Map aarch64 to AWS's arm64 RegisterImage architecture · New
• Use an ARM64-compatible metalink resource image · New
• Include ARM64 suffix when locating raw OpenStack archives · New

_{Review effort: Balanced}

[vighes]

Thank you for the thorough review @aramprice and @rkoster for the naming context.

I agree that ARCH should be a first-class concept rather than conditionals scattered through the specs and stages. I will hold off on the spec and stage pattern until you've had a chance to put together your ideas, and I am happy to help implement whatever you settle on. In the meantime I will push follow-up commits for the clear-cut items: Copilot's findings (AWS architecture value, amd64-only resource images, and the raw archive glob), the apt regex simplification, trimming comments, dropping the meta4 download, and removing the STEMCELL_ARCH defaults in the CI tasks. I will reply on each thread as it lands, and I will keep amd64 stemcell names unchanged for Jammy and Noble as discussed.

[aramprice]

Thanks @vighes - I'm excited to see this work progressing!

[vighes]

@aramprice All the inline comments above are addressed in the latest commits. I am holding the ARCH-as-first-class-concept changes until your ideas land. Also added dpkg-list-ubuntu-arm64.txt (64d6836) so the arm64 stemcell specs pass end to end, I validated the full arm64 build on AWS Graviton.

Supply the ARM64 blobstore CLI assets before using the ARM64 CI jobs.

When STEMCELL_ARCH=arm64, this stage expects a .linux-arm64.url and .linux-arm64.sha256sum file for each of the four blobstore CLIs. Add all four asset pairs, or make the pipeline provide equivalent assets before this stage runs.

Ensure the ARM64 pipeline provisions both `.linux-arm64.url` and
`.linux-arm64.sha256sum` assets for each of the four blobstore CLIs before this
stage runs; preserve the `assets_dir`, `cli_binary`, and `cli_asset_suffix`
checks so the stage can validate the supplied assets.

Arm64 agent download has no metalink entry.

With STEMCELL_ARCH=arm64, apply.sh requests bosh-agent-<version>-linux-arm64. The committed stemcell_builder/stages/bosh_go_agent/assets/metalink.meta4 lists only the amd64 Linux agent. The arm64 agent download cannot complete, so the arm64 OS-image build fails at this step.

The ci/tasks/bump-bosh-agent.sh task takes the metalink from the upstream bosh-agent resource. Add the linux-arm64 entry to that upstream metalink, with its published URL and hashes, before enabling the arm64 build. A local binary or a CI asset input does not add the metalink entry that meta4 file-download reads.

21 - 23:
Ensure the metalink consumed by the file-download invocation in apply.sh
includes the published linux-arm64 artifact URL and verified hashes for the
selected bosh-agent version; trace the metalink sourced by the
ci/tasks/bump-bosh-agent.sh workflow and update its source so the arm64 entry is
carried through, without substituting a local binary or CI asset input.
