CentOS Stream is a Linux distribution built by Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) + engineers as part of RHEL development.

+

Innovation within the OS happens in Fedora. + CentOS Stream provides a solid base for innovation on top of an OS. + Many CentOS Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are building on and extending it in all + sorts of interesting ways without needing to reinvent the wheel.

+

CentOS Stream also serves as a contribution path to RHEL itself. + The source, the builds, the release, it all happens in the open.

+

Come and learn about what's new, what's coming, + how to get involved both directly and through CentOS SIGs.

+ - title: "Leveraging the Kubernetes Enqueue Scheduling Plugin for Smarter Workload Placement" + youtube: "vfuJsB8MCko" + speakers: + - name: Alessandro Di Stefano + - name: Dennis Gilmore + desc: | +

This session highlights the OKD community’s initiative to evolve + Kubernetes scheduling into a dynamic, collaborative framework. + Building on the experience gained from developing the Multiarch + Tuning Operator for OpenShift, the initiative leverages Kubernetes' + 2scheduling gates mechanism to go beyond multi-architecture-aware scheduling. + It introduces a framework where multiple controllers can compete to inject + augmented information into pod specifications, enabling smarter and more + efficient pod placement across Kubernetes clusters.

+

Rooted in OKD, the upstream distribution of OpenShift, and running on + CentOS Stream CoreOS, this effort showcases how the OKD community is driving + innovation for scheduling in Kubernetes Clusters. + The framework optimizes workload placement while coordinating with + descheduling and autoscaling components.

+

This talk will explore how OKD’s community-driven approach connects + observability platforms with Kubernetes’ scheduling ecosystem, closing + the feedback loop for improved performance, SLA guarantees, cost savings, + and energy efficiency. + Attendees will also learn how this framework lays the foundation for a fully + distributed, intelligent placement system for Kubernetes workloads.

+

Join us to discover how the OKD community is extending its vision through + CentOS Stream CoreOS, fostering collaboration and innovation to advance + Kubernetes scheduling.

After a long time working on it, we finally launched the new website + and docs site with the CentOS Stream 10 announcement. + There was a lot of frantic scrambling among the Artwork, Infra, Docs, + and Promo SIGs. There were snags. There were delays. + But we finally got it out the door.

+

This talk will explore what we did. + But more importantly, it will explore what we didn't do. + We had to think hard about what work we could defer to meet deadlines. + Learn how you can contribute tonight from the comfort of your hotel room.

+ - title: "OKD, kubernetes on CentOS Stream" + youtube: "UDJzV5SJFRw" + speakers: + - name: Dennis Gilmore + desc: | + We are currently going through a big shift in OKD. We are working to have + everything entirely built on CentOS stream. + This talk will explain what we want OKD to look like and the steps we are + taking to get there. + - title: "From RPM to S2I of an OpenStack service in Konflux" + youtube: "ouTzUKGldko" + speakers: + - name: Joel Capitao + desc: | +

At RDO, we are experimenting building the OpenStack services from source + instead of packaging them first with RPM. + This initiative is conducted alongside the Konflux effort which is taking + place within the Fedora community.

+

We'll present a PoC of an Openstack service built from source in the + Cloud SiG Konflux tenant.

+ - title: "AlmaLinux: the special derivative" + youtube: "r6CJwCvNsVw" + speakers: + - name: Andrew Lukoshko + desc: | +

On the dates of CentOS Connect 2025, we get to celebrate exactly 4 years + since the release of the very first beta version of AlmaLinux. + While being RHEL (and later CentOS Stream) derivative AlmaLinux still does + a lot of things differently both on the distribution and tooling sides. + Our build system and mirror service are just the tip of the iceberg. + In my talk I'd like to focus on more things we do differently, like:

+ +

... and many more.

+

This can be useful for users and developers to look at familiar + features and processes from a new angle.

+ - title: "OpenScanHub and Packit: Fully automated static analysis of RPM-based distributions" + youtube: "XYCh1hkCo-o" + speakers: + - name: František Lachman + - name: Siteshwar Vashisht + desc: | +

What if detecting bugs and vulnerabilities in RPM-based + distributions could be seamless and fully automated?

+

OpenScanHub is a service for static and dynamic code analysis. + It was internally used inside Red Hat to scan releases of RHEL + for more than a decade and was open-sourced in 2023.

+

OpenScanHub can fully automatically scan RPMs and has the ability + to do differential scans that helps in finding bugs that may be + introduced on package updates and new distribution releases. + By default, it supports static analyzers embedded in GCC, Cppcheck, ShellCheck, + find-unicode-control, Clippy and is extensible to support other analyzers. + It can collect reports from various analyzers at a single place to + make it easy to analyze them.

+

OpenScanHub was recently integrated with Packit, a CI/CD solution for + automating RPM package builds, tests, and distribution releases. + This new integration performs differential scans on pull requests, + so potential bugs may be found during the pull request review process + and would not be introduced into the codebase.

+

In this talk, we will share ideas about how CentOS Stream and its + derivatives may benefit from OpenScanHub.

+ - title: "CentOS Infra SIG review and updates" + youtube: "jkc3jdxSZmA" + speakers: + - name: Fabian Arrotin + desc: | + The CentOS Infra Special Interest Group is there to serve the whole + CentOS Ecosystem, especially the other SIGs. + What has been achieved during the 2024 year ? + What are some other goals for 2025 ? + Let's present these though slides but also Q&A (hearing from SIGs themselves !) + - title: "Hyperscale SIG update" + youtube: "iXTIf4T1i_s" + speakers: + - name: Davide Cavalca + - name: Neal Gompa + desc: | + This presentation will provide an update on what the CentOS Hyperscale SIG has + been working on, what work has been done by the Hyperscale SIG in CentOS Stream, + what deliverables are available, how to use them, and what's coming up next. + - title: "CentOS Alt Images - Lets Talk About It" + youtube: "rXTK-CvB-OE" + speakers: + - name: Troy Dawson + desc: | + CentOS Alternative Images SIG has progressed alot in the past year. + Troy will go over all the new Images we adding this past year and what we have planned next. + He will also do a demo some of his favorite images. + - title: "Creating content collections for CentOS SIGs" + youtube: "Hhy14OI9RTA" + speakers: + - name: Neal Gompa + desc: | +

CentOS Hyperscale is constructed with the combination of CentOS Stream, + Fedora EPEL, and our own produced packages. + This gives us a broad content set, but since each of these are released + with their own cadences, it becomes important to create discrete collections + of this for various purposes (notably integration testing).

+

This talk will discuss the problem and share the solution created for the + Hyperscale SIG, and show how other CentOS SIGs and communities can benefit from it.

+ - title: "OpenHPC - Running on Multiple Distributions" + youtube: "bTvWE1ID0sw" + speakers: + - name: Adrian Reber + desc: | +

OpenHPC is Linux Foundation project which tries to provide an easy + starting point into High Performance Computing (HPC). + Currently the OpenHPC projects supports Leap 15.5, openEuler 22.03 and + different RHEL 9 clones (AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux). + For those distributions OpenHPC provides RPMs and validated recipes which + guide the user to a running HPC cluster.

+

In this session I want to give an introduction why OpenHPC exists and + what special requirements HPC systems have, how OpenHPC builds its RPMs + and how OpenHPC validates its released recipes with hundreds of tests + for each release.

+ - title: "Something for SIGs: Story of Packit and CBS Koji" + youtube: "RFxBy8SK_FE" + speakers: + - name: František Lachman + desc: | +

For some time, Packit’s main target had been Fedora. + But we have something for the CentOS Stream community as well. + Specifically for CentOS SIGs this time.

+

Providing builds and CI for your SIG is not easy, and with Packit, + we thought we could be of help. + We were asked about this a long long time ago, but last year, + Christian Glombek sent us the first contribution that kicked off the + actual work and together with the Packit team, the work on automation + for CBS Koji builds started for real. + Just another Koji instance one would say. + We’ve come a long way since then and learned our lesson. + Come and see what it takes to automate RPM builds on CBS Koji in + reality and how you can benefit from our work.

+

During the talk, we’ll show what we’ve managed to finish and what + are our plans for the future.

+ - title: "The Road to EPEL 10" + youtube: "3pbjS-tD4q8" + speakers: + - name: Carl George + desc: | +

Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) is a yum repository of + community maintained packages for use on CentOS Stream and Red Hat + Enterprise Linux (RHEL). + For most of its history, each version of EPEL was made available after + the corresponding major version of RHEL. + This slowed down package availability, which then slowed down adoption + of new RHEL major versions. + In EPEL 9, package maintainers were able to build against CentOS Stream 9 + early to have a large number of packages ready before the RHEL 9.0 launch.

+

For EPEL 10, the EPEL Steering Committee is expanding that strategy + to all minor versions of RHEL 10. + This will improve support for CentOS Stream and for specific minor versions + of RHEL, resolving several key pain points of users and maintainers. + Attend this talk to learn more about this bold initiative and the results + achieved so far.

+ - title: "Automating CentOS Provisioning with Foreman" + youtube: "psarnHrK89Y" + speakers: + - name: Nofar Alfassi + desc: | +

Foreman is a robust, open-source solution for provisioning and + managing CentOS systems at scale. + This talk will highlight how Foreman simplifies the provisioning + process for CentOS environments using PXE-based booting, image-based + workflows, and integrations with hypervisors like Libvirt and VMware.

+

We’ll also explore recent advancements such as Secure Boot and IPv6 + support, ensuring that Foreman remains compatible with modern CentOS + infrastructure needs. + A live demo will demonstrate how to efficiently provision CentOS systems, + helping attendees streamline their workflows and manage environments with + confidence.

+

Key Takeaways:

+ + - title: "From ELN to EPEL 10: tracking and bringing up packages with poi-tracker and ebranch" + youtube: "_yZLOFRw7lU" + speakers: + - name: Michel Lind + desc: | + Many, if not most, deployments of CentOS Stream and its downstreams + (RHEL and derivatives) require packages from the Extra Packages for + Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repositories, which requires bootstrapping + for every major EL release. + This is a follow-up to previous CentOS Connect talks, discussing how + I am using poi-tracker to track packages, export them to ELN Extras + workloads, and then use ebranch to branch and build these packages + and their dependencies in EPEL 10. + I plan to release the first stable versions of poi-tracker and + ebranch at Connect, after stress-testing ebranch across two EL + releases (9 and 10). + - title: "Building RPMs in Konflux" + youtube: "wORt4PDGf6o" + speakers: + - name: Mike McLean + desc: | + Konflux is an open-source software factory based on Tekton and Kubernetes. + In this talk, I'll give a brief overview of the system and talk about how + we're using it to build RPMs. + - title: "Bootable Containers in Action: Hands on with Deploying AI Workloads" + youtube: "KDOySCVhphI" + speakers: + - name: Carol Chen + - name: Cedric Clyburn + desc: | + There’s an exciting potential for bootable containers, which allow you to + build and manage a full operating system just like a container image, + and recently, Red Hat announced it’s intention to donate the tool to the + Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). + However, for AI/ML workloads which require a complicated stack of dependencies, + this technology helps curate the delivery of a full stack for training and + inferencing, for example with Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI. + Join us as we put together an operating system for running an AI-enabled + application with CentOS Stream, using an InstructLab fine-tuned model from + our local developer workstation. + With bootable containers, our deployment workflow is simplified, with + flexibility for dynamic requirements and environments in building the + next generation of Linux workloads. + - title: "Foreman & Pulp packaging: maintaining 750+ SRPMs" + youtube: "8wAS7R6RriE" + speakers: + - name: Ewoud Kohl van Wijngaarden + desc: | + The Foreman and Pulp projects are upstream to Red Hat Satellite and + together contain more than 750 SRPMs layered on top of Enterprise Linux. + To keep this all maintained with a small team we need automation. + See how we utilize COPR, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, CentOS CI, Ansible, + gem2rpm, pyp2rpm and more to deliver both nightly and stable releases. +--- + +
