For example, if you're running Docker on some other kind of ARM box (Raspberry Pi, for example), there's a CentOS 7 base image you can use already, and has been for some time.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The SP itself is very portable, and I spun up an ARM VM in EC2 back in July when the original Apple Silicon announcements came out. It compiled and ran basic smoke tests without problems. I'd expect that getting the SP running under Docker on Apple Silicon will be relatively straightforward. I doubt that it would be one of our supported platforms, though, for obvious reasons.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal; border-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none;"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; border-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div class=""> -- Ian<br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br class=""></span></div></span></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">
