Back in May, we reported about the availability of an ISO image of the open-source CentOS 7 Linux operating system for the ARM64 (AArch64) hardware architectures, designed for those who want to build ARM devices powered by the CentOS distribution.

On August 4, CentOS developers, through Jim Perrin, had the great pleasure of informing us all about the immediate and general availability for download of the CentOS 7 Linux operating system for AArch64 (ARM64) compatible machines.

"We would like to announce the general availability of CentOS Linux 7 for AArch64 compatible machines," Jim Perrin said. "This is the first major release of CentOS Linux 7 for ARM/AArch64 produced by the AltArch Special Interest Group."

Powered by Linux kernel 3.19, the CentOS 7 for AArch64 edition is built from sources available at git.centos.org using the c7-aarch64, c7-ppc64le, and c7 branches. It is currently distributed as a network install media and an Everything ISO image.

Additionally, there's also an archived disk image available, which has been designed from the ground up for rapid deployments of a development environment.
