On April 19, the AlmaLinux OS Foundation released the first installation images for their 9.0 beta version of their Enterprise Linux system. Today we are announcing that we have created yet another, the third (after CentOS Stream 9 and EuroLinux 9 beta), collection of images of an Enterprise Linux 9 operating system supported by our team.

As an organization, we have been supporting multiple Enterprise Linux operating systems for many years, helping our customers compare them to each other, creating migrations PoC and compatibility tests. As such, we produce VM and container images for the community as well as for our internal needs. With the new release of AlmaLinux, we are pleased to be the first in the world to release Vagrant boxes and container base images for AlmaLinux 9.0 beta.
