    Hi,

    I couldn't find in the documentation which CPU Architecture is supported for running Instana (Especially for Kubernetes and docker based). Is it supported for ppc (Power Systems) or IBM z (LinuxOne or Z).

    Thank you

    Hi Largou, 

    yes. you are correct. Self-hosted Instana backed deployment is supported on OpenShift on amd64/x86-64 and IBM Z / IBM LinuxONE. Docker based installation is supported only on x86-64/amd64.

    Are you seeing any prospective customer opportunity or any discussion on doing Proof-of-concept with any client for self-hosted Instana on IBM Z / IBM LinuxONE ? Please let know and would be glad to support you on the same.

    Thanks,
