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.
