The introduction

Following the release of Anolis OS 8.2 as scheduled, OpenAnolis community continues to evolve along the path of release, ecosystem improvement and technology innovation. Finally, Anolis OS 8.4 is released, which is still the only release in China!

Anolis OS version 8.4 still adheres to the principle of 100% compatibility with the international mainstream Linux vendors’ distributions, and provides the supporting migration tools to help users migrate smoothly to Anolis OS. Meet the usage habits and requirements of users in various fields and industries after the CentOS service is 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, Zhaocin, Feiteng and Kunpeng to optimize the integration of software and hardware and give full play to the performance of hardware platforms.

New components suitable for cloud scenarios are integrated in the basic library and application ecology. These components can meet the actual needs of different schemes in different production environments in various industries after being polished and improved by large-scale deployment in cloud computing scenarios.
