Or maybe I didn't understand you. Anyway, let me rephrase: TravisCI provides two types of ARM64 VMs - arm64 (powered by Equinix Metal) and arm64-graviton2 (by AWS Graviton2). You, as a user, can use any or both of them in your .travis.yml. I prefer the AWS Graviton2 instances because there are less issues with them. So, instead of disabling the ARM64 CI job I suggest to try with arm64-graviton2. Here is a sample setup for it - https://github.com/apache/wicket/blob/270a5a43970cd975539331b21a34bd83a59c9c39/.travis.yml#L18-L22 More info about it at https://blog.travis-ci.com/2020-09-11-arm-on-aws Martin > > Cheers, > Willy >
