Can't enable some addons on Mac OS 12.1, Apple M1 Pro

Summary

Can't enable some community addons on MicroK8s 1.24 running on Mac OS 12.1 (21C52), Apple M1 Pro. The error message is the following:

Addon fluent was not found in any repository
An error occurred when trying to execute 'sudo microk8s.enable fluent' with 'multipass': returned exit code 1.

I was able to reproduce this for fluentd and jaeger.

What Should Happen Instead?

The addons should be enabled as it happens in Ubuntu.

Reproduction Steps

1. brew install ubuntu/microk8s/microk8s
2. microk8s install --channel=1.24/stable
3. microk8s enable community
4. microk8s enable fluentd

Can you suggest a fix?

I think there is a pattern where addons which were implemented using Python can be enabled (i.e. portainer) and those implemented using a bash script cannot.

Are you interested in contributing with a fix?

No

Hi @mrgasparov

Not all addons are supported for all architectures. See https://github.com/canonical/microk8s-community-addons/blob/main/addons.yaml#L12-L38. The addons you listed are only supported on amd64.

I do agree that perhaps the error messages should be improved.
