Sorry, I don't think we can support builds for other architectures like this without a CI setup that can run tests. We've discussed this a few times for other architectures:
#2455

[salamani]

@dlorenc Could you provide more details about CI setup? We would like to join CI setup. Please let us know the steps to follow.

Hi @salamani @dlorenc any updates on this PR w.r.t s390x inclusion in CI ?

[tstromberg]

Per-architecture YAML files are going to get very painful to maintain. Could this be templatized somehow?

[salamani]

Yes . I agree, I am finding a way to templatize it. Let me know if you have any suggestion.

Hi @salamani @dlorenc any updates on this PR w.r.t s390x inclusion in CI ?

We don't yet have a reasonable way of including s390x into the current CI system, but I would be willing to accept this port and list it as experimental for the time being. This situation may chance once our CI environment moves to Prow (#3256)

This looks great! Do you mind rebasing? I think it's about where we can accept this.

[salamani]

@tstromberg I am creating new PR as I am getting multiple conflicts during rebase

[afbjorklund]

These image templates are getting uglier and uglier, think we need another approach here...
