## Cloud and container images

We build, maintain and update Cloud images that you can find on our [Cloud Images server](https://cloud.centos.org/centos).

These images are built and made available for all the architectures that corresponding version supports.

People interested in importing 'GenericCloud' images into their own cloud solution can find corresponding images on the link above.

Worth knowing that you can also import (through Skopeo or other methods) container images the same way, and such .tar.xz files can be found on the same mirror.

Parallel to that, we have also official images that are available directly to be deployed for the following solutions:

 * [Amazon Web Services](/download/aws-images)
 * [Docker Registry](https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/centos/)

If the above is not for you, [alternative downloads](http://wiki.centos.org/Download) might be.

## Geographical mirrors

If you're looking for a specific (or geographically local) mirror, please check out our [list of current mirrors](/download/mirrors/).

To check the status of a mirror, please visit [mirror-status.centos.org](http://mirror-status.centos.org/).

## Sources

The CentOS project hosts our sources at [git.centos.org](https://git.centos.org).
This is documented in greater detail in the [CentOS wiki](https://wiki.centos.org/Sources).

In order to help ease the workload for our primary mirror network, the source
rpms are not kept in the same tree as the binary packages. If you need the
source packages used to build CentOS, you can find them in our vault 
[vault.centos.org](http://vault.centos.org).

## Older Versions

Legacy versions of CentOS are no longer supported. For historical purposes,
CentOS keeps an archive of older versions. If you're absolutely sure you need
an older version [then click here](http://wiki.centos.org/Download).
