Will Ignition redundancy work properly if the gateway is hosted on different CPU architectures: ARM64 master \<-\> x86\_64 backup? ---

Based on the docs: [Setting Up Redundancy | Ignition User Manual](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/platform/ignition-redundancy/setting-up-redundancy) The CPUs shouldn't matter, but as stated in the blurb screenshotted below. Windows is recommended to be the master in mixed Operating Systems ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/8/88ff02fb1eb3c579524a4e803860603f8058477f.png) ---

I would expect so, as long as any folders spelled out in `ignition.conf` match up between the two systems. (OS matters more than architecture.)
