CentOS Stream

About CentOS Stream

CentOS Stream is a rolling-release Linux distribution that serves as the upstream (development) branch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Unlike traditional CentOS releases, CentOS Stream provides a continuously delivered platform with updates that appear before they are officially released in RHEL. This makes it ideal for development, testing, and DevOps environments where early access to enterprise features is beneficial.

Choose between CentOS Stream 8 and CentOS Stream 9 to match your environment:

• CentOS Stream 8 – Closer to RHEL 8, with a stable and mature ecosystem. Ideal for teams working with current RHEL 8 infrastructure.
• CentOS Stream 9 – Aligned with RHEL 9, built on newer technologies and toolchains (e.g., Kernel 5.14+, GCC 11+, Podman 3+). Best for future-facing workloads and newer hardware.

Deploy CentOS Stream on your VPS to gain insight into the future of enterprise Linux while developing on a supported and community-powered system.

1. Continuously updated rolling release between Fedora and RHEL.
2. Ideal for testing applications before RHEL changes go stable.
3. Backed by Red Hat and supported by the CentOS community.
4. Full support for containers, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-native stacks.
5. Flexible system for advanced Linux users and teams.
