The production of the Alt Virtualization Server operating system was held 10.1 on the 10 ALT platform (branch P10 Aronia). The operating system is intended for use on servers and the implementation of virtualization functions in corporate infrastructure. A service is available for working with Docker images. The assemblies are prepared for architectures X86_64, AARCH64 and PPC64le. The product is supplied under a license agreement, which provides the possibility of free use by individuals, but legal entities are allowed only testing, and for use it is required to purchase a commercial license or conclude a licensed contract in writing.
innovations:
- The systemic environment is built on the basis of the Linux 5.10 and Systemd 249.13.
- Kernel-Mudules-DRM package is added to the installer, which provides higher performance for graphic equipment (relevant for Aarch64 platforms).
- Using the GRUB (GRUB-PC) bootloader instead of Syslinux in the image for Legacy Bios.
- Added support for Numa (Numactl) memory optimization when using the Basic Virtualization Scenario based on KVM+Libvirt+Qemu.
- Improved Multipath support for creating a network storage storage (Multipathd is included in the default and default ost).
- In the default network settings, ETCNET is used, which allows you to configure the network manually. To work with configuration files, the authority of the administrator (Root).
- Using CRI-O instead of Docker in Kubernetes.
- In the PVE 7.2 virtualization control system, support for new services and settings has been added. Synchronization with the DEBIAN 11.3 package base has been performed. The Linux 5.15 core is used. And also updated Qemu 6.2, LXC 4.0, Ceph 16.2.7 and Openzfs 2.1.4.
- The limit is increased by the number of virtual processors (VCPUS) for Hypervizer hosts, which allows you to use more powerful equipment for deploying a virtualization control system.
- Updated versions of key components for creating, managing and monitoring the virtual circuit.
- Official images of containers in register of containers , and also updated images on the resources hub.docker.com and images.linuxcontainers.org .
