2021 was a pretty exciting year for Linux distributions within the cloud native and developer world. And although there were no new distributions released that were purpose-built for cloud, container, and edge use cases, there were plenty of updates for other operating systems that strengthened the offerings to make nearly every Linux server distribution widely appealing to most businesses and developers. So although on the surface it might seem as though it was just another year of “second verse same as the first,” it was actually much more than that.

And back in November, less than 48 hours after Red Hat released version 8.5 of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), the developers released version 8.5 of AlmaLinux.

It was a good year for Linux on the server, the cloud, and just about anywhere that depends on a reliable, secure, and flexible operating system.
