Operating systems

KVM is built on 6 distributions

Each image follows its distribution's own provisioning model, package manager and security tooling — not one build relabelled several times.

  • Ubuntu

    LTS and interim releases, Minimal and Pro variants, built to Canonical's cloud-image conventions.

  • Debian

    Stable and oldstable, with backports where a workload needs a newer runtime than the release ships.

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux

    RHEL 8 and 9 images, including BYOS and pay-as-you-go licensing models on each marketplace.

  • AlmaLinux

    The 1:1 RHEL-compatible rebuild, and the default landing spot for teams migrating off CentOS Linux.

  • Rocky Linux

    Enterprise-grade RHEL compatibility with a community governance model, on 8 and 9 streams.

  • CentOS

    CentOS Stream images, plus migration paths off end-of-life CentOS Linux 7 and 8.

How it's built

How WIEWAVE builds and maintains this image

The same four steps behind every offer we've published, including the hardening and CIS Benchmark checks every build goes through.

  1. 01

    Scoped

    The distribution, licensing model and target marketplaces are agreed before anything is built.

  2. 02

    Built & hardened as code

    Packer templates, Ansible provisioning and a pinned package set — then hardened, scanned and checked against the CIS Benchmark for its distribution.

  3. 03

    Certified & published

    Taken through each cloud's own certification pipeline before it goes live on the marketplace.

  4. 04

    Maintained

    Rebuilt on the upstream security cadence and re-published, with old versions retired without breaking deployments.
