<br>
Over the past month or so, I've been working on producing CentOS<br>
images with Hyperscale content and customizations to showcase the<br>
technologies we're working on to the broader community. The goal is to<br>
make it easier for the community to get started with the technologies<br>
we're working on and to encourage collaboration between the SIG and<br>
the wider community on the things we're working on.<br>
<br>
Today, I'm pleased to announce one of the first deliverables of that<br>
effort: experimental live media! The SIG has produced an experimental<br>
Hyperscale Workstation Spin that combines CentOS Stream 8 with the<br>
Hyperscale SIG content to offer an early preview into some of the work<br>
we're doing.<br>
<br>
This spin is currently available here:<br>
<br>
* ISO: <a href="https://ngompa.fedorapeople.org/centos/hyperscale/CS8-HS-WORK-LIVE-LATESTDEV.iso" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ngompa.fedorapeople.org/centos/hyperscale/CS8-HS-WORK-LIVE-LATESTDEV.iso</a><br>
* SHA512 checksum:<br>

There are some limitations and known issues, though:<br>
<br>
* UEFI boot is not supported. CBS does not support signing kernels<br>
such that we can leverage the Secure Boot infrastructure, so UEFI is<br>
not supported at all right now. The issue is tracked here:<br>
<a href="https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/307" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/307</a><br>
<br>
* The Anaconda installer icon is missing. This will be fixed with the<br>
next release of centos-logos. Upstream issue here:<br>
<a href="https://github.com/CentOS/centos-logos/issues/1" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/CentOS/centos-logos/issues/1</a><br>
<br>
* SELinux denials with systemd-hostnamed and systemd-oomd. This is<br>
being investigated, and fixes will become available in a future<br>
systemd update provided by the Hyperscale SIG.<br>
<br>
* SELinux denials with sssd and useradd. This happens with stock<br>
CentOS Stream 8, and is not related to anything we're doing.<br>
<br>
* All non-English locales aren't showing up in Anaconda despite all<br>
locales being installed. This is being actively investigated and will<br>
hopefully be resolved in a future release.<br>
<br>
* "dnf upgrade" is broken due to package conflicts with the DNF stack.<br>
This is because our custom version of the RPM+DNF stack has not been<br>
refreshed to the latest version pushed into CentOS Stream 8. This is<br>
ongoing and should be resolved soon.<br>
<br>
* VDO is broken. This is a consequence of VDO being an out-of-tree<br>
kernel module shipped by Red Hat for RHEL kernels only. The Hyperscale<br>
SIG is building its kernels based on the ARK tree that's used by<br>
Fedora, and thus lacks support for VDO.<br>
<br>
If you find any other issues, we would definitely love to hear about<br>
them! We have a dedicated issue tracker for Hyperscale spins where we<br>
would appreciate bugs to be reported:<br>

<br>
The Hyperscale Workstation spin is built on the GNOME desktop. It is<br>
my intent to also offer a KDE Plasma flavor once it becomes reasonably<br>
possible. This is blocked on KDE Plasma getting rebuilt in EPEL-Next<br>
for the updated Qt5 in CentOS Stream 8. Both desktops are capable of<br>
leveraging the technologies being developed by the Hyperscale SIG and<br>
we intend to use this to showcase that.<br>
<br>
We hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making this!<br>
<br>
Thanks and best regards,<br>
