CentOS Stream 8

CentOS Stream 8 is a community-driven, open-source Linux distribution positioned between Fedora Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Optimized by Ntegral, this pre-configured virtual machine enables enterprises and development teams to test, validate, and contribute to features ahead of RHEL point releases.

As a rolling preview of RHEL 8, CentOS Stream 8 supports continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) workflows, allowing organizations to innovate faster while maintaining enterprise-grade stability. Downstream compatibility with RHEL ensures that applications remain aligned with future enterprise releases.
