Hello Community! The AlmaLinux OS Foundation is announcing the general availability of AlmaLinux OS 9.4 codenamed “Seafoam Ocelot”!

Matching release and software versions with Red Hat Enterprise Linux(RHEL), AlmaLinux builds from the same sources as RHEL, promises complete compatibility with RHEL, and does so from freely available open source code. This makes it the only choice for anyone looking for a truly open source Enterprise Linux. If you are looking for a deeper undertanding of how AlmaLinux is built, watch this 23 minute video of our Lead Architech explaining in detail at AlmaLinux Day: Germany, earlier this year.

AlmaLinux also offers a variety of Cloud, Container and Live Images. The builds for these get kicked off as soon as the public repository was ready.

The AlmaLinux 9.4 introduces updates to enhance machine security and data protection. Enhancements in web-console and system roles automate additional operations and promote consistency in complex IT environments. The new release’s features aim to improve system availability and reliability, facilitate easier recovery operations, and enhance virtual machine snapshot capabilities in hybrid cloud environments. The new system roles introduced enable the creation and management of logical volume manager (LVM) snapshots for improved data backup and recovery processes. Additionaly, updates in the 9.4 release continues to improve performance, scalability, and reliability for developers in building and managing applications.
