CentOS Stream is Linux distribution that exists as a midstream between the upstream development in Fedora Linux and the downstream development for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.[3] CentOS Stream is being used by Meta Platforms[4][5] and Twitter. [6]

History

The initial release, CentOS Stream 8, was released on 24 September 2019, at the same time as CentOS 8.[3] As CentOS 8 became unsupported, The CentOS Project provided a simple means of converting from CentOS Linux 8 to CentOS Stream 8.[7] In 13 January 2021, CentOS board approved the creation of Hyperscale SIG proposed by Meta Platforms, Twitter, and Verizon engineers[6][8], which focus on enabling CentOS Stream deployment on large-scale infrastructures and facilitating collaboration on packages and tooling.

CentOS Stream 9 was released on 3 December 2021.[2]
