CentOS 8.4 Optimized

Tidal Media Inc. provides you with a production-ready CentOS 8.4 that has been optimized for automated use at scale, with a tiny package set and minimal security cross-section. With fewer installed packages, this CentOS 8.4 will more likely avoid security vulnerabilities and require fewer updates over time. The use of this solution will reduce overall bandwidth consumption for an institution and require less storage.

CentOS 8.4 Optimized includes several major changes noticeably decreasing system boot time and improving system performance. It is designed for completely automated operations, with none of the usual human-friendly utilities for comfortable interactive usage. Editors, documentation, locales and other user-oriented features of СentOS Server have been removed. What remains are only the vital components of the boot sequence.

Root login is disabled and only the user account specified at launch time (or the default cloud-user) is allowed to connect, preferably using ssh public key authentication.

Furthermore, It is an indispensable solution for cloud development and operations because of its speed, performance, and stability. Mainly it is used as a common base system on top of which other appliances could be built and tested.
