Running waypoint on m1 mac and deploying to linux/amd64

Is there a way to run waypoint up using the pack plugin on an M1 Mac and successful deploy to ECS linux/amd64? It seems that the docker image built is understandable using arm64 architecture that won’t run once deployed.

Hi @lukemelia, I hit the same issue and submitted this PR recently:

github.com/hashicorp/waypoint

builtin/aws: add `cpu_architecture` aws-ecs parameter

This is to support deploying Docker images built by the Apple M1 chip to ECS: h…ttps://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/ecs-arm64.html Adding new `cpu_architecture` parameter (optional, no default value): ```hcl app "example-nodejs" { labels = { "service" = "example-nodejs", "env" = "dev" } build { use "docker" {} registry { use "aws-ecr" { region = "ap-northeast-1" repository = "waypoint-example" tag = "latest" } } } deploy { use "aws-ecs" { region = "ap-northeast-1" memory = "512" cpu_architecture = "ARM64" } } } ``` NOTE: Currently, this only works with the `docker` build plugin, and not with the `pack` plugin. But I believe that's due to the upstream buildpacks issue with arm64, not coming from Waypoint itself.

Unfortunately, the pack builder (or the upstream buildpacks) still has some issues with arm64 and can’t be used with M1 Mac for now. However, with that PR, you will be able to use the docker builder and deploy your app to ECS linux/amd64.

Thanks for jumping in and adding this @shohei!
