Rocky Linux 10(ARM64) Latest Supported by Easycloud

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for technical support with a 24-hour response time. Rocky Linux 10 (ARM64) Minimal, built on a minimal Rocky Linux 10 (ARM64) installation, is included in this AMI, repackaged by Easycloud. It provides a community-driven, binary-compatible RHEL 10 enterprise Linux foundation, deliberately engineered to deliver production-grade stability, long-term support, and seamless ecosystem compatibility on ARM64 compute.

• Rocky Linux 10 Foundation: Provides a robust, enterprise-grade underlying OS as a 100% binary-compatible downstream rebuild of RHEL, ensuring high security and seamless ecosystem compatibility with AlmaLinux, CentOS Stream, and the broader Red Hat software ecosystem.

• Minimal Installation (ARM64): The minimal installation provides only the packages essential to boot and operate the system, keeping the image lean and the attack surface small. Deployed on ARM64 (Graviton) architecture, this image benefits from improved cost efficiency and energy performance compared to equivalent x86 instances, making it an ideal base for custom server environments.

• Rocky Linux 10 Minimal: A 100% bug-for-bug compatible, enterprise-grade derivative of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Serving as the premier downstream alternative to traditional CentOS, it provides a clean, bloat-free, and secure foundation with exceptional ecosystem compatibility for AlmaLinux and other RHEL-based workloads.

• Production Ready: Optimized for AWS Graviton processors, this ARM64 image delivers up to 40 percent better price-performance compared to equivalent x86 instances for many workloads. The minimal installation eliminates unnecessary packages, reducing the attack surface and memory footprint, while full cloud-init support ensures seamless initialization across all supported AWS regions.

• Best Practice Compliance: This AMI is built following Rocky Linux guidelines, scan-ready image suitable for immediate deployment.

• AWS Optimized Drivers: Pre-configured with the Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) for enhanced networking and NVMe drivers for ultra-fast EBS storage I/O on modern EC2 Nitro instances.

• Cloud-init: The industry standard for cross-platform cloud instance initialization, pre-installed and ready to handle automated user-data scripts and metadata configuration at boot time.

• Production Ready: Built on a hardened Rocky Linux 10 core, updated with the very latest system and security patches.

• Ideal Foundation for Modern Cloud Infrastructure: Rocky Linux 10's binary-compatible RHEL foundation and minimal ARM64 image eliminate package sprawl and version conflicts, ensuring every resource is dedicated to your workloads from day one. It is the ideal stable base for web and proxy tiers (Nginx, HAProxy, Varnish Cache), relational and in-memory data stores (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis), and ARM64-optimized application runtimes (Python, Node.js, Go, Docker, Kubernetes). Its long-term support horizon makes it a trusted platform for enterprise messaging (Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ), CI/CD and observability stacks (Jenkins, SonarQube, Grafana, Elasticsearch), Java application servers (Apache Tomcat), and service mesh and secrets management tooling (Consul, HashiCorp Vault), giving your infrastructure a rock-solid, RHEL-certified backbone that scales without compromise.

• Production Ready & Expert Support: Secured with the latest OS patches. It delivers a highly stable environment, fully supported by comprehensive documentation and fast technical assistance (guaranteed 24-hour response time) to ensure your infrastructure runs smoothly without costly downtime.
