Step 1 - Manual Enablement of build-controller.sh

yum install cpan
cpan JSON
cpan Coro
cpan JSON::Validator
cpan Data::UUID

Change the elasticsearch RPM arch from x86_64 to aarch64 in /opt/crucible/workshop/controller-workshop.json

Then build-controller.sh will run to completion

We can use repos to install Elasticsearch if we like.

[root@arm2 yum.repos.d]# cat elasticsearch.repo
[elasticsearch]

Images do seem to understand arch differences when built on different arch machines...

[root@arm2 workshop]# podman image inspect fedora36_crucible-controller | grep Architecture "Architecture": "arm64", [root@arm2 workshop]#

[root@dhcp31-122 workshop]# podman image inspect fedora36_crucible-controller | grep Architecture "Architecture": "amd64", [root@dhcp31-122 workshop]#

The next phase of this work is to support mixed-arch test-beds.
