Overview

Rocky Linux 8.10 is a community driven enterprise Linux distribution built to be binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. It is the last minor release in the RHEL 8 family and continues to receive maintenance stream security backports until May 2029, so it stays current without forcing a version jump.

This image is a clean, fully patched Rocky Linux 8.10 foundation to build your own services on.

Why the cloudimg image

The cloudimg image is a minimal Rocky Linux 8.10 base brought fully up to date with the 8.10 maintenance stream at build time, with SELinux left in Enforcing mode and the root password locked. No credential is baked in: access is by the SSH key you choose at launch, so no two instances share a secret. BaseOS and AppStream stay enabled so you keep a working update path, and 24/7 support is included.

Common uses

RHEL 8 compatible application hosting
Long lived enterprise server workloads
