Overview
Continuously delivered distro that tracks just ahead of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) development, positioned as a midstream between Fedora Linux and RHEL. For anyone interested in participating and collaborating in the RHEL ecosystem, CentOS Stream is your reliable platform for innovation.
Highlights
- CentOS Stream is an upstream development platform designed for CentOS community members, Red Hat partners, ecosystem developers, and many other groups to more quickly and easily see what's coming in the next version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and to help shape these capabilities.
- Shortening the feedback loop for ecosystem developers - including OEMs, ISVs, and Application Developers - to contribute their changes. By working in CentOS Stream between Fedora and RHEL, ecosystem developers will be working on a rolling preview of what's coming in the next RHEL release. This will allow them to make changes much faster than they can today.
- Providing a clear method for the broader community to contribute to RHEL releases. When Fedora was RHEL's only upstream project, most developers were limited to contributing only to the next major release of RHEL. With CentOS Stream, all developers will be able to contribute new features and bug fixes into minor RHEL releases as well.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
CentOS Stream is a work in progress. At a future milestone, users can expect CentOS Stream content will include content intended for inclusion in the next RHEL minor release. In some cases, however, Red Hat is obligated to release fixes to customers first, after which these fixes can be released into CentOS Stream. The CentOS team has modified the default cloud user to ec2-user from centos and "cloud-user"

CentOS Stream 9: Free, Cutting-Edge Linux for Developers and Newbies
Its a cutting-edge Linux distribution that offers continuous updates and early access to RHEL innovations. It's ideal for developers seeking a reliable and up-to-date platform for development and testing, all for free.
Preview of RHEL
Great OS for development purposes. It also includes more modules with more recent versions than RHEL provides. Image is not huge in size by defaults, so it can run pretty lean.
