In my organisation, it was decided to move all the MySQL infrastructure (Amazon EC2 machines) to Graviton (aarch64) servers from AMD (x86_64). All are MySQL Community Servers. I need percona-xtrabackup and percona-toolkit installed on the new aarch64 (graviton) machines, but unfortunately, percona has not yet released the aarch64 packages. There's a lot of dependency on percona-toolkit and xtrabackup. Lots of scripts are running using percona-toolkit tools and backups are running using xtrabackup. I know these packages can be built from source also, but I have never done it before. I was able to build percona xtrabackup using this link https://docs.percona.com/percona-xtrabackup/8.0/compile-xtrabackup.html and percona-toolkit (version 3.3.1) from this link https://github.com/percona/percona-toolkit/blob/3.x/INSTALL Because I have never done this before and because Percona has not yet officially provided these packages, I am really not sure if building these packages from source will work on Graviton (aarch64) or not. The graviton machines have Amazon Linux 2 on them. I am not even sure which Red Hat version is this. cat /etc/os-release NAME="Amazon Linux" VERSION="2" ID="amzn" ID_LIKE="centos rhel fedora" VERSION_ID="2" PRETTY_NAME="Amazon Linux 2" ANSI_COLOR="0;33" CPE_NAME="cpe:2.3:o:amazon:amazon_linux:2" HOME_URL="https://amazonlinux.com/ " SUPPORT_END="2025-06-30" cat /proc/version Linux version 5.10.219-208.866.amzn2.aarch64 (mockbuild@ip-10-0-61-241) (gcc10-gcc (GCC) 10.5.0 20230707 (Red Hat 10.5.0-1), GNU ld version 2.35.2-9.amzn2.0.1) #1 SMP Tue Jun 18 14:00:02 UTC 2024 rpm -E %{rhel} 7
