This week, The New Stack is running a series of posts examining how Linux distributors are securing their distros for cloud native operations. Continuing my series of Q&As on cloud native security with Linux, I reached out to the creators of AlmaLinux to weigh in on how it supports secure cloud native operations on Linux. https://almalinux.org/ was released in the wake of https://www.openshift.com/try?utm_content=inline-mention‘s CentOS shifting from a standard release to a rolling release, an event that caused a serious shift in the enterprise Linux community. Cloud native development adds complexity in multidimensional layers such as the cloud node OS, cloud software, application container OS, and then application platform and application itself. AlmaLinux cloud images and containers are built more frequently to include enhancements and security updates.
