The introduction

After the scheduled release of Anolis OS 8.2, OpenAnolis community continues to evolve along the route of release, ecological improvement and technological innovation. Finally, Anolis OS 8.4 is released, which is still the only release version in China!

Anolis OS 8.4 is still 100% compatible with major international Linux distributions, and provides supporting migration tools to help users migrate to Anolis OS smoothly. To meet the use habits and needs of users in various fields and industries after CentOS has been stopped. In terms of hardware ecology, through cooperation with Intel and domestic chip manufacturers, we support a series of chip platforms such as Intel, Haiguang, Mega Chip, Feiteng and Kunpeng to optimize the integration of software and hardware and give full play to the performance of the hardware platform.

New components suitable for cloud scenarios are integrated into the basic library and application ecology. After the polishing and improvement of the super-large scale deployment of cloud computing scenarios, the components can meet the actual needs of various industries and fields for different solutions in different production environments.
