CentOS Stream 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. CentOS Stream 10 (ARM64) Minimal, built on a minimal CentOS Stream 10 (ARM64) installation, is included in this AMI, repackaged by Easycloud.

• CentOS Stream 10 Foundation: Provides a robust, enterprise-grade underlying OS with deep structural alignment to RHEL, ensuring high security and seamless ecosystem compatibility with AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, and traditional CentOS deployments.

• Minimal Installation (ARM64): The minimal installation includes only the essential packages required to boot and operate the system, keeping the image lean and the attack surface small. Running on ARM64 (Graviton) architecture delivers improved cost efficiency and energy performance compared to equivalent x86 instances, making it well suited as a base image for custom server deployments.

• Next-Generation RHEL Platform: CentOS Stream 10 tracks the leading edge of the RHEL 10 development branch, giving teams early access to the same packages that will ship in future RHEL 10 point releases. This makes it an excellent foundation for development, staging, and production workloads that need long-term RHEL 10 compatibility. Organizations gain a predictable upgrade path and broad compatibility with the Red Hat software ecosystem.

• 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 CentOS Stream 10 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 CentOS Stream 10 core, updated with the very latest system and security patches.

• Ideal Foundation for Modern Cloud Infrastructure: CentOS Stream 10's minimal ARM64 footprint means every compute resource goes directly to your workloads, with no legacy cruft and no package conflicts. It delivers a clean, predictable base for high-throughput web and proxy tiers (Nginx, HAProxy, Varnish Cache, Apache HTTPD), relational and in-memory data stores (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis), and modern runtimes that fully exploit ARM64 efficiency gains (Python, Node.js, Go, Docker, Kubernetes). Teams can build on top of enterprise-grade streaming and messaging infrastructure (Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ), roll out complete CI/CD and observability pipelines (Jenkins, SonarQube, Grafana), deploy Java application servers (Apache Tomcat), and integrate service discovery and secrets management tooling (Consul, HashiCorp Vault), all on a platform aligned with the RHEL 10 release track.

• 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.
