Our CI amd64 builders are 3-4 times faster to build Talos than our arm64 builders when building Talos. Our Dockerfile was restructured a while ago to support cross-compilation on all platforms but CI was still using amd64/arm64 workers, so arm64 part was done on arm64 builders. As our CI runs on Talos, `binfmt_misc` is not enabled in the kernel, but buildkit has built-in QEMU emulation layer which works just fine for those small pieces which actually need to run arm64 binaries on amd64 (mostly `apk add` in the installer container). Interesting enough, buildkit QEMU support fails for `ca-certificates` script which runs after install. At the same time I believe we don't need `ca-certificates` in the installer, as installer doesn't download anything from the network, and `ca-certificates` were added a while ago when installer was actually downloading configuration on its own.

Talos
A modern OS for Kubernetes.
Talos is a modern OS designed to be secure, immutable, and minimal. All system management is done via an API, and there is no shell or interactive console. Some of the capabilities and benefits provided by Talos include:
- Security: Talos reduces your attack surface by practicing the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP) and by securing the API with mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication.
- Predictability: Talos eliminates unneeded variables and reduces unknown factors in your environment by employing immutable infrastructure ideology.
- Evolvability: Talos simplifies your architecture and increases your ability to easily accommodate future changes.
