   9 This document compiles the release notes for the Danube release of
  10 OPNFV when using Fuel as a deployment tool with an AArch64 (only) target
  11 node pool.

  13 ===============
  14 Important Notes
  15 ===============
  16
  17 These notes provides release information for the use of Fuel as deployment
  18 tool for the AArch64 Danube release of OPNFV.
  19
  20 The goal of the AArch64 Danube release and this Fuel-based deployment process
  21 is to establish a lab ready platform accelerating further development
  22 of the OPNFV on AArch64 infrastructure.
  23
  24 Due to early docker and nodejs support on AArch64, we will still use an
  25 x86_64 Fuel Master to build and deploy an AArch64 target pool.
  26
  27 Although not currently supported, mixing x86_64 and AArch64 architectures
  28 inside the target pool will be possible later.
  29
  30 Carefully follow the installation-instructions provided in *Reference 13*.
