The CentOS Hyperscale SIG was formed last year to bring major package releases and other features back to CentOS and other interesting features for modern enterprise environments. Now the CentOS Hyperscale SIG is backed by hyperscale companies from Twitter to Facebook to push back more updated package versions to CentOS, enabling new and more cutting edge features for CentOS, and other benefits that are beneficial at scale Infrastructure and other strong user updates.
The Special Interest Group (SIG) released its Q1 report today, highlighting its many successes in the first quarter of 2022. In Q1, CentOS Hyperscale SIG updated system 250.3 for CentOS Stream 8 and 9, the updated kernel build continued into CentOS Stream 9 and into CentOS Stream 8, tested SimpleDRM and FBDEV emulation capabilities of CentOS Hyperscale SIG kernel build, updated SDL2 Packages to support native Wayland use, upgrade to Flatpak 1.12, and various other package updates.
The SIG’s DNF/RPM stack and package copy-on-write (CoW) support have also been updated for the latest development threads. Going forward, the CentOS Hyperscale SIG plans to roll out an updated QEMU that integrates Btrfs transactional updates as an optional feature and provides more CI/CD capabilities and other infrastructure improvements.
