Overview

What cloudimg adds to every version - Every image is built by cloudimg from the distribution's official cloud image, fully patched at build time and remediated with the OpenSCAP CIS Level 1 Server profile (STIG-Hardened and Essential Eight variants apply their own named OpenSCAP profile instead).

Why the cloudimg image

Every Hardened AlmaLinux 8, 9 10 : Minimal, LVM, STIG, Essential Eight image arrives installed, configured and hardened, so there is no manual setup before you can use it. Each is built on a patched base, runs with credentials generated uniquely for your instance on first boot, and passes an automated health check before every release. Every deployment is backed by 24/7 support from cloudimg engineers.
