The New TuxCare Enterprise Support: Premium Coverage for AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux
I wrote this for TuxCare to announce that Enterprise Support, formerly scoped to AlmaLinux, now covers Rocky Linux too. Most enterprises I talk to run more than one distro, so I wanted to lay out why community support alone rarely covers what 24x7, regulated workloads actually need.
Originally published on TuxCare Read the full article →A few things I wanted people to walk away with:
- Multi-distro estates are the norm now. AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux are the leading CentOS successors, and TES now covers both under one contract and SLA instead of juggling separate vendors.
- Community support has real gaps for enterprises. It doesn’t provide 24x7 production response, FIPS-validated builds, FedRAMP-aligned workflows, or lifecycle coverage well beyond community end of life.
- It’s a foundation, not a lock-in. TES pairs with the wider portfolio, from ELS to KernelCare, so you extend your open-source stack without getting trapped in a proprietary subscription.
The goal was a secure, compliant footing on the community distro you already run, without giving up the freedom that made you choose it.
