Release Engineering's <a href="https://git.resf.org/sig_core/toolkit">toolkit</a> "Empanadas" to compose the images.</p> <p>Currently, the following images are produced by the SIG:</p> <ul>

<li>NOTE(nhanlon) 2022-10-11: These images are currently a best-effort production until the workflows are automated to create these images.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h3 id="optimized-kernels">Optimized Kernels<a class="headerlink" href="#optimized-kernels" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3> <p>The Cloud SIG also produces a custom kernel artifact for use on various cloud providers. Currently, the major changes in this kernel are the backporting of several changes from stable/mainline kernel branches relating to GVNic drivers for improved performance on Google Cloud Platform. Note that the Kernel is the same version as in any given Rocky Release, but has patches from kernel.org branches backported and applied on top.</p> <p>A full description of the changes the this Kernel has can be found <a href="packages/kernel/">here</a>.</p> <p>Any and all changes which may benefit ease or performance of usage of Rocky on clouds are welcome to be contributed. In order to maintain patches, a tool called <a href="https://github.com/rocky-linux/sideline">Sideline</a> was developed to aid in grabbing and applying patches to the Rocky Linux standard Kernel.</p> <h2 id="members">Members<a class="headerlink" href="#members" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <ul> <li>Neil Hanlon</li> <li>Brian Clemens</li> <li>Mustafa Gezen</li> <li>Zach Marano</li> <li>Gregory Kurtzer</li> <li>Dave Linksey</li> <li>Lukas Magauer</li> <li>Kyle Ishie</li> </ul> <h2 id="project-layout">Project layout<a class="headerlink" href="#project-layout" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <pre><code>mkdocs.yml # The configuration file. docs/ index.md # The documentation homepage. ... # Other markdown pages, images and other files. </code></pre> <aside class="md-source-file"> <span class="md-source-file__fact"> <span class="md-icon" title="Last update"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M21 13.1c-.1 0-.3.1-.4.2l-1 1 2.1 2.1 1-1c.2-.2.2-.6 0-.8l-1.3-1.3c-.1-.1-.2-.2-.4-.2m-1.9 1.8-6.1 6V23h2.1l6.1-6.1-2.1-2M12.5 7v5.2l4 2.4-1 1L11 13V7h1.5M11 21.9c-5.1-.5-9-4.8-9-9.9C2 6.5 6.5 2 12 2c5.3 0 9.6 4.1 10 9.3-.3-.1-.6-.2-1-.2s-.7.1-1 .2C19.6 7.2 16.2 4 12 4c-4.4 0-8 3.6-8 8 0 4.1 3.1 7.5 7.1 7.9l-.1.2v1.8Z"/></svg> </span> 2023-05-14 </span> </aside> </article> </div> <script>var target=document.getElementById(location.hash.slice(1));target&&target.name&&(target.checked=target.name.startsWith("__tabbed_"))</script> </div> <button type="button" class="md-top md-icon" data-md-component="top" hidden> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M13 20h-2V8l-5.5 5.5-1.42-1.42L12 4.16l7.92 7.92-1.42 1.42L13 8v12Z"/></svg> Back to top </button> </main> <footer class="md-footer"> <div class="md-footer-meta md-typeset"> <div class="md-footer-meta__inner md-grid"> <div class="md-copyright"> <div class="md-copyright__highlight"> Copyright © 2022 Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation </div> Made with <a href="https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Material for MkDocs </a> </div> </div> </div> </footer> </div> <div class="md-dialog" data-md-component="dialog"> <div class="md-dialog__inner md-typeset"></div> </div> <script id="__config" type="application/json">{"base": ".", "features": ["navigation.expand", "navigation.indexes", "navigation.instant", "navigation.tabs", "navigation.top", "navigation.tracking", "search.highlight", "search.suggest", "toc.integrate"], "search": "assets/javascripts/workers/search.b8dbb3d2.min.js", "translations": {"clipboard.copied": "Copied to clipboard", "clipboard.copy": "Copy to clipboard", "search.result.more.one": "1 more on this page", "search.result.more.other": "# more on this page", "search.result.none": "No matching documents", "search.result.one": "1 matching document", "search.result.other": "# matching documents", "search.result.placeholder": "Type to start searching", "search.result.term.missing": "Missing", "select.version": "Select version"}}</script> <script src="assets/javascripts/bundle.a7c05c9e.min.js"></script> </body> </html>
