 ronef | Context is that Cole and I just spoke with the Ampere team and while they don't have a specific program to support open source projects directly, there are potential unique things we can do if we had more case studies/examples/external utilizations around Nix. Helps provide the signal to their leadership that this is somethign they should support. | 19:08:17 |

 vcunat | I expect that WorksOnARM is interested in any ARM. (we really support only aarch64 well) I expect aarch64-darwin doesn't count š¤” | 08:00:48 |
| vcunat | I've heard about stuff like this: https://gitlab.com/Cynerd/nixturris
but AFAIK it's just a few individuals playing around on small stuff, so it probably won't count. | 08:01:54 |
| vcunat | (no significant deployment most likely) | 08:02:47 |

Anyone familiar with Nix/NixOS usage in the wild with ARM or Ampere hardware? well, Hetzner's arm cloud is Ampere based, so that might account for some usage (https://www.hetzner.com/press-release/arm64-cloud/) | 08:04:29 |
| f0x | currently running just one of those (with NixOS) but considering migrating more | 08:05:18 |
| ronef | Thanks! Will DM with a few more questions if that's ok :) | 16:03:18 |

Anyone familiar with Nix/NixOS usage in the wild with ARM or Ampere hardware? We use Hetzner's dedicated Ampere servers in production at nixbuild.net, with NixOS. I think the nix-community folks also have one of those for running their builds. | 18:26:37 |

 Arian | We have entertained the thought of switching our AWS compute to aarch64. Given all our developers are on ARM macbooks it actually simplifies a lot. | 13:30:39 |
| Arian | But I dont think AWS is Ampereā¦ they have their own ARM chips. I was really close to buying an Ampere workstation though. does that count? :D | 17:10:40 |

 Dandellion | Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's "always free" vms are Ampere. Its not super easy to install but there are a few blog posts, discourse threads, and github repos dedicated to how so I expect there are a few users out there | 01:25:08 |
