+The goal of the Colorado release and this Fuel-based deployment process is
to establish a lab ready platform accelerating further development

+of the OPNFV infrastructure on AArch64 architecture.
+
+Due to early docker and nodejs support on AArch64, we will still use an
+x86_64 Fuel Master to build and deploy an AArch64 target pool.
+
+Although not currently supported, mixing x86_64 and AArch64 architectures
+inside the target pool will be possible later.
Carefully follow the installation-instructions provided in *Reference 13*.
