On the dates of CentOS Connect 2025, we get to celebrate exactly 4 years since the release of the very first beta version of AlmaLinux.
While being RHEL (and later CentOS Stream) derivative AlmaLinux still does a lot of things differently both on the distribution and tooling sides.
Our build system and mirror service are just the tip of the iceberg. In my talk I'd like to focus on more things we do differently, like:
- How we build images
- How we produce errata
- How we do OpenSCAP profiles and OVAL data
- How we support additional hardware and older CPUs
- How we extend virtualization support
... and many more.
This can be useful for users and developers to look at familiar features and processes from a new angle.
