Hi, does anyone have experience with mixed-arch Ceph clusters? Specifically, mixing amd64 and aarch64 machines in the same cluster? I've got my hands one some NVidia Bluefield-2 DPUs: 2x 25G ports, 8x 64bit ARM cores, 16/32G ECC RAM. I'm pondering if sticking those into amd64 OSD machines and using them as non-storage (MDS, MON) nodes would make sense. Or would that end up mightily confusing the tooling, e.g. cephadm?
