Multiple architectures

[KevinSayers]

Enabling Wave to build container images for multiple architectures, primarily x86 and Arm, would be beneficial. Wave enables capturing your Dockerfiles as part of a workflow repository, and maintaining this while supporting multiple architectures would provide portability of workflows across architectures.

A straightforward way could be to provide multiple Dockerfiles each with the extension for the target architecture such as:

Dockerfile.amd64
Dockerfile.arm64

Having a way to then select architectures on a process by process would allow mixing processes. This could also be accomplished by detecting the architecture, but may be better to explicitly define?

process {
   waveArchitecture = 'arm64'
}

Thinking more about this, the container platform spec can be more complex string like linux/arm/v7. See here.

That could not be used a file extension
