Creating a cluster with multi-architecture compute machines on GCP

To create a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) cluster with multi-architecture compute machines, you must first create a single-architecture GCP installer-provisioned cluster with the multi-architecture installer binary. For more information on AWS installations, see Installing a cluster on GCP with customizations.

You can also migrate your current cluster with single-architecture compute machines to a cluster with multi-architecture compute machines. For more information, see Migrating to a cluster with multi-architecture compute machines.

After creating a multi-architecture cluster, you can add nodes with different architectures to the cluster.

Note	Secure booting is currently not supported on 64-bit ARM machines for GCP
