ERROR: release image arch amd64 does not match host arch arm64
Well, so I tried installing a new ARM-based OpenShift Container Platform cluster on AWS. To prepare, I created an install-config.yaml file and changed the controlPlane.architecture and the compute.architecture field to “arm64” and then launched the installer. That did not work, it still complains about the architecture:
$ ./openshift-install create cluster --dir=.
