I request access to an ARM64 VM so I can work on some SIG/AltArch related work. Following is the list of items I will be using this VM for:

Build variations of upstream packages needed for SIG/AltArch (u-boot, kernel, other SBC-related tools)
Building and testing generic disk images

The above list is not exhaustive. I will be using this VM for more RL-related work as it pops up, but for now, this is all that I need.

Specs I need:

6 to 8 cores (not threads, real cores; though most ARM vendors don't have threads ¯\(ツ)/¯)
8 to 16 GB of RAM (I prefer 12 GB since it is the perfect sweet spot)
512 GB of available disk space (will have some Nix tools on it and they eat space like nobody's business)
Location preference is as following (in the ascending order of highest preference to lower-most preference):
- Vadodara/Baroda, India (not aware of any DCs here but closest metro city to me, so shooting my shot)
- Ahmedabad, India (not aware of any DCs here but another close metro city to me, so shooting my shot)
- Mumbai/Bombay, India
- Delhi, India
- Bangaluru/Bangalore, India
- Hyderabad, India
- Anywhere in America
Guest OS in the VM should be RL 9 of-course
I'm sure this is obvious but mentioning it here for clarity: SSH access to the VM is mandatory

Special asks:

Please set the non-root user's username to pratham (it's just easier this way due to my muscle memory)
On that note, please add pratham to the wheel group (appliance-creator runs only as root/with sudo)
Any initial password that you have set, please send me via Mattermost (@thefossguy on MM)
Not a need but network speed of 200+ MiB/s would be nice :)
Since this VM won't be used 24x7 (only when I need to make sure that my stuff builds correctly on "standard hardware"), I request that when I shut it down, it doesn't turn on automatically. And also a way for me to easily turn it on when the need be (i.e. without pinging any Infrastructure people to turn it on again).

My pubkeys:

ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIN/YfDCseUMbYDhlfvCpJ2GziJgeEKTXmK/Qq53xvArN pratham@sentinel
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIP7LiJSoSrvbTQJ17WSVsAkyVG5DCqAXV3zRCcGKXxK/ pratham@ringmaster
