AlmaLinux 10 VPS
Binary-compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, free to use, and supported until 2035.
Why AlmaLinux 10
AlmaLinux 10 is a free rebuild that's binary-compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. It's the newer of the two AlmaLinux releases we offer, so a server built on it has until 2035 before it needs a major-version move.
When to pick something else
Some software that supports RHEL 9 hasn't added RHEL 10 yet, so check your vendor's or control panel's supported list. If 10 isn't on it, take AlmaLinux 9 or Rocky Linux 9.
Support window
AlmaLinux 10 gets security updates from the AlmaLinux project until 2035.
- Active supportuntil 2030
- Security fixes, bug fixes and the updates that follow RHEL 10's minor releases.
- Security supportuntil 2035
- Security and important fixes only.
Upgrading
Minor releases (10.1, 10.2 and so on) arrive with dnf upgrade. There's no newer major release to move to yet.
The image
Your server starts from AlmaLinux's own official cloud image, the one the project publishes for cloud servers, checked against its published checksum before it's used. Nothing is added to it but cloud-init's first-boot setup: your network addresses, your SSH keys, your hostname, and any app, packages or setup script you picked. Updates come straight from AlmaLinux's repositories with dnf.
