For information on SIG responsibilities, SIG governance, and how to start a SIG, see SIG Governance.
Alternative Images
Live ISO images, WSL images, and images that include different software.
The Alternative Images SIG builds and provides alternate ISO images for CentOS Stream. These images are hosted in the CentOS infrastructure, and are regularly updated at least once every three months.
Artwork
Artwork and design to support the CentOS project.
The Artwork SIG provides graphic design for the entire CentOS project. This includes CentOS logo and brand guidelines, web design, and assets for promotional materials.
Automotive
Public, in-development preview of the upcoming Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System.
The primary deliverable of the Automotive SIG is AutoSD, a binary distribution developed within the SIG that is a public, in-development preview of the upcoming Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System (OS). AutoSD is CentOS Stream, with divergences that meet unique automotive use cases, which might include new, automotive-specific packages and rebuilds or reconfigurations of existing CentOS Stream packages.
Cloud
Builds of OKD Kubernetes, RDO OpenStack, and Stream CoreOS.
The Cloud SIG focuses on providing different FOSS based cloud infrastructure applications that can be installed and run natively on CentOS Stream. The Cloud SIG is working on several artifacts, including the RPM distribution of OpenStack (RDO) repositories and the OKD distribution of Kubernetes.
Docs
Documentation for CentOS Stream and the CentOS SIGs.
The Documentation SIG works on documentation for the CentOS Project and CentOS Stream, helps SIGs with their documentation as needed, maintains the documentation web site, and helps with general web content.
Hyperscale
CentOS stability built for massively large-scale deployments
The CentOS Hyperscale SIG focuses on enabling CentOS Stream deployment on large-scale infrastructures and facilitating collaboration on packages and tooling. This includes integrating faster-tracking backports of core base packages such as systemd, providing an updated kernel tracking ARK and Kernel Live Patching support, and providing a way to deploy and test emerging technologies such as RPM Copy-on-Write.
Infrastructure
Providing a working group to manage all CentOS infrastructure.
The Infrastructure SIG is responsible for oversight of all infrastructure resources, and providing guidelines for who may be granted administrative access to shared services.
Integration
Verifying products and services built on top of RHEL or CentOS Stream
The Integration SIG verifies that products and services built on top of RHEL or CentOS Stream will continue to work on CentOS Stream and the next release of RHEL, and will not break on package updates.
ISA
Evaluating the benefits of enabling new CPU features.
The ISA SIG quantifies the potential benefits of applying existing compiler technology to distribution packages, targeting more recent CPUs, and evaluating different options for how these optimizations can be maintained in a scalable way, and delivered to end users. The initial focus is the x86_64 architecture, but other architectures may be included in the future.
Kmods
Kernel modules for the stock Enterprise Linux kernel, as well as Fedora flavored kernels for Enterprise Linux distributions.
The Kmods SIG focuses on two aspects: packaging and maintaining kernel modules for the stock Enterprise Linux kernel, and packaging and maintaining Fedora flavored kernels for Enterprise Linux distributions.
NFV
Platform for the deployment and testing of virtual network functions (VNFs) and NFV component packages on CentOS.
The NFV SIG provides a CentOS-based stack that will serve as a platform for the deployment and testing of virtual network functions (VNFs) and NFV component packages on compliant CentOS platform. Currently, the main goal is to provide RPM packages of OpenvSwitch and Open Virtual Network software for CentOS Stream that can be used by other projects as oVirt, OpenStack or OpenShift.
Promo
Event planning, social media, and other activities to promote the CentOS project.
The Promo SIG manages activies that promote CentOS. This includes running events like CentOS Connect and CentOS Showcase, as well as coordinating our presence at other events. It also includes managing the CentOS social media accounts and helping with the web site.
Storage
Storage solutions for enterprise environments, including Ceph, Gluster, NFS Ganesha, and Samba.
The Storage SIG ensures that CentOS is a suitable platform for many different storage solutions. This group ensures that all open source storage options seeking to utilize CentOS as a delivery platform have a voice in packaging, orchestration, deployment, and related work.
Virtualization
User-consumable full stack of virtualization technologies.
The Virtualization SIG delivers a user-consumable full stack for virtualization technologies that want to work with the SIG. This includes delivery, deployment, management, update and patch application (for full lifecycle management) of the baseline platform when deployed in sync with a technology curated by the Virtualization SIG.
