For POWER access for academic or open-source projects, please see here: https://osuosl.org/services/powerdev/request_hosting/ There are said to be similar services for ARM, for example: https://thenewstack.io/cncf-packet-team-provide-free-infrastructure-cloud-developers Please let me know how it goes!
