## On ARM builds and working with Apple silicon
## On supporting arm64 AND amd64
Only the release builds are multi-platform, supporting `linux/arm64`
and `linux/amd64`. This enables higher level constructs like `helm` and
docker-compose to point to these images and effectively be multi-platform
as well.
Pull requests and master builds
are one-image-per-platform so that they can be parallized and the
build matrix for those is more sparse as we don't need to build every
build preset on every platform, and generally can be more selective here.
For those builds, we suffix tags with `-arm` where it applies.
### Working with Apple silicon
Apple's current generation of computers uses ARM-based CPUs, and Docker
running on MACs seem to require `linux/arm64/v8` (at least one user's M2 was
