Description
The s390x CPU architecture is the base for IBM zSeries (aka mainframe) systems. It is beneficial for users of this platform to have a supported way to install pre-compiled binaries for the OpenTelemetry collector in a Linux environment. This issue and associated pull requests will enable the building of all relevant binary artifacts for linux/s390x as part of the regular CI pipeline.
IBM has performed tests internally to ensure successful build (via cross-compilation) and runtime (on native platform) integrity of the OpenTelemetry collector (core and contrib) via the unit test suites and specific use-cases.
For more information and discussion please refer to the initial feature request issue (open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases#378).
