After the year of development, the company SUSE introduced Distribution Release SuSe Linux Enterprise 15 SP3. Based on platforms SUSE Linux Enterprise are formed products such as SUSE Linux Enterprise Server , SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop , SUSE Manager and SUSE Linux Enterprise High Performance Computing. Distribution You can Download and use for free, but access to receiving updates and corrections is limited to the 60-day trial period. The release is available in assemblies for architectures AARCH64, PPC64LE, S390X and X86_64.
SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP3 provided 100% binary compatibility of packets with a previously released OpenSUSE LEAP 15.3 distribution, which makes it possible to smoothly translate into SUSE Linux Enterprise system running OpenSUSE and vice versa. It is assumed that users may first form and test the work decision based on OpenSUSE, and then switch to the commercial version with full support, SLA, certification, long-lasting updates and advanced media for mass implementation. The high level of compatibility was achieved thanks to the use of the SUSE Linux Enterprise of the binary packets with the SUSE Linux Enterprise, instead of the previously practiced removal of SRC packets SUSE Linux Enterprise.
- as in the past release, the delivery of Linux 5.3 kernel is continued, which has been expanded by supporting new equipment. Optimizations for AMD EPYC processors, Intel Xeon, Arm and Fujitsu are added, including optimizations that are specific to AMD EPYC 7003 processor processors. Added support for PCIE-cards Habana Labs Goya AI Processor (AIP). Added support for SOC NXP I.MX 8M MINI, NXP Layerscape LS1012A, NVIDIA Tegra X1 (T210) and Tegra X2 (T186).
- The supplies of the kernel modules are implemented in a compressed form.
- is given the ability to select displacement modes (PREEMPT) in the task scheduler at the loading phase (PREEMPT = NONE / VOLUNTARY / FULL).
- Added the ability to save dumps of core dumps into the PSTore mechanism, allowing you to save data in memory areas that are not lost between reboots.
- promoted limit to the maximum number of file descriptors for user processes (rlimit_nofile). Hard limit is raised from 4096 to 512K, and a soft limit that can be increased from the application itself is left unchanged (1024 descriptor).
- in Firewalld Added backend support for use NFTables instead of iptables.
- Added support for VPN Wireguard (Package Wireguard-Tools and Core Module).
- in Linuxrc is provided with DHCP requests in RFC-2132 format without specifying the MAC address to simplify the maintenance of a large number of hosts.
