This is a modified open source software product, and there are extra fees associated with obtaining technical support and maintenance services. It’s a CentOS 8 Stream image, stripped down to its essentials for immediate deployment.

This image is primarily intended to serve as a foundational system upon which other appliances and applications can be built and tested. To access the system, you should log in using the ‘cloud-user’ username, and authentication is performed through SSH public keys. Notably, root login has been disabled to enhance security.
