The 64bit ARM server community space is small, but growing rapidly. The CentOS AltArch ARM builds provide a solid community server oriented platform to help grow this new ecosystem.By providing buildsystem access to Special Interes Groups, we foster expansion for projects like RDO/openstack, gluster, and more.
Additionally, we work directly with several hardware vendors, providing them a way to test newer drivers, and quickly get feedback from the community about expected functionality. This helps to provide a bit more real-world testing for the eventual RHELSA GA.
These efforts help to broaden the exposure to the "RH" way of development, facilitate community interaction for desired platforms, and allow users to focus on what matters to them.
