Bitnami ARM containers available at Docker Hub

VMware's Bitnami team has achieved another big step in moving further
its commitment to the development ecosystem:

 Bitnami containers have support for ARM and they are available at 
Docker Hub! 

Our Catalog has more than 200 million monthly pulls of our containers
just from Docker Hub (and growing), so we had to do this effort
thinking about our users. On the other hand, the team did its best to
support the current catalog but in some cases, for example MongoDB,
wasn't able because there are no ARM binaries available for Debian
11.

More than a year and a half ago (mid 2021), Bitnami users started
requesting us to provide support for ARM because Apple started with
their M1 and also in the Hyperscalers the ARM adoption was planned to
be done. So, after analyzing the needed efforts and seeing how
important this feature was for our end users, we proceed to implement
this.

Hyperscalers in 2022 provided their customers ARM architecture
support (Google Cloud, AWS, and Azure) and there is also a great
article written by Percona's team doing an economical comparison of
using different EC2 types in AWS, in the end, we can see how in terms
of costs, Graviton (EC2 with ARM support) is a good choice in terms
of pricing vs performance for database usage.

From VMware's Bitnami team, we are happy to face this challenge and
keep our aim committed to our users' needs. We will keep working, as
usual, thinking about end users' needs and, for sure, being vigilant
to ensure the quality of our products become better.

From a technical point of view, the Bitnami container images are
built as multi-arch images:

Bitnami etc Docker Hub view

This means users don't need to specify anything when pulling the
container images from Docker Hub, Docker (or any other software) will
automatically pull the container image matching the host platform
from which the pull command was issued.

Thanks for keeping your trust in us. Enjoy the ARM support!
