AlmaLinux Unveils New Hardware Certification Process

If you're looking for a new enterprise-grade server operating system and are concerned about hardware compatibility, AlmaLinux offers a new certification process. This new program will verify and certify hardware for the AlmaLinux OS.

The certification process is broken down into four steps:

• Submission of hardware for testing
• Rigorous testing by AlmaLinux or an authorized partner
• Issuance of certification upon successful completion of tests
• Listing of certified hardware in AlmaLinux's official catalog

There are also two certification levels:

• AlmaLinux Compatible: This is the basic level and confirms that the hardware functions correctly with AlmaLinux OS.
• AlmaLinux Certified: This is a more rigorous certification process that guarantees the hardware works and meets performance and reliability standards.

According to benny Vasquez, chair of the AlmaLinux OS foundation, “The creation of the Certification SIG and the program around it illustrates that AlmaLinux continually empowers its community and enables action based on the feedback from users all around the world.” She continues, “Our users depend upon and appreciate the interactive approach to governance that leads to ongoing advancements in the community. We're committed to providing a clear and consistent path toward hardware certification.”

For those who are concerned that the process will take an extended period, the new AlmaLinux Hardware Certification takes just days to complete. To do this, the process leverages an open source certification toolkit, developed by AlmaLinux OS Foundation, that is built upon various open source hardware and software testing projects and tools.
