This commit adds the ability to create aarch64 docker images using
the amd64/centos7 base image.

@robbavey any movement on this one? would love to have ARM official images :)

@CpuID - this was a draft PR I was working on earlier -- which is somewhat out of date, and will likely close out shortly -- but we are still working on improved Logstash support for running on arm64 architectures.

Have you tried running Logstash 7.9 on arm64 nodes outside of docker? Logstash 7.9.0 included "experimental" support, and we'd love to get feedback from users actively running/testing Logstash in this way

Thanks for the response @robbavey :) Understood, that's fine.

Have you tried running Logstash 7.9 on arm64 nodes outside of docker?

We haven't yet tbh, we could probably try running our "pipeline end-to-end" test suite (which has thousands of lines of filters for our various log formats) under arm64 potentially... and see if anything breaks.
