Overview
Rocky Linux OS is an open-source Linux operating system binary compatible with RHEL and it was born out of the void created by the discontinuation of CentOS Linux. Kurian recommends this Linux distribution as one of the options for our CentOS customers to switch to; the other option is AlmaLinux.
The Linux operating system AMIs released by Kurian are patched and up-to-date on the day of the release, and the updates are published quarterly. These production grade AMIs are ideal for use with automated provisioning processes such as that in an autoscale group without having to worry about applying the patches and the delays involved in doing that.
Based on this baseline operating system release, Kurian has released pre-configured software applications such as Wordpress, Jenkins, databases, LAMP stack, Ansible, DevOps tools, and monitoring applications that are widely used by system administrators and DevOps engineers. For selected Linux distributions hardened images based on the CIS benchmark are also available. The Kurian AMIs are built following official installation steps so you do not need to learn any custom procedures.
Highlights
- Baseline AMI based on official distribution of the OS image.
- Ideal for use with automated provisioning processes for quicker availability of the node.
- Production grade AMI built with the latest Linux operating system patches applied.
