[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-13671) Power (ppc64le) support for kafka

Abhijit created KAFKA-13671:
-------------------------------

             Summary: Power (ppc64le) support for kafka
                 Key: KAFKA-13671
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-13671
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: build
            Reporter: Abhijit


Support for Power architecture (ppc64le) for apache kafka.

What is IBM Power architecture?
It is a RISC architecture and IBM has recently made its ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) opensource and in doing so, they have significantly contributed back to the opensource community at large. Many of the pioneers of banking and HPC industries today run on ppc64le architecture.

As an ongoing effort to enable open-source projects where Power architecture can add value, we are trying to enable kafka on Power.

IBM has already donated a ppc64le ubuntu VM to the community to be added to the jenkins cluster for Apache Kafka builds. The VM spec has been reviews in the community and deemed suitable for kafka builds. 

Jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-22612

I can help with the work needed to add new jenkins job for Power.
