    <h1>The CentOS Project</h1>
    <p>The CentOS Project is a community-driven free software effort focused on delivering a robust open source ecosystem. For users, we offer a consistent manageable platform that suits a wide variety of deployments. For open source communities, we offer a solid, predictable base to build upon, along with extensive resources to build, test, release, and maintain their code.</p>
    <p> We're also expanding the availability of CentOS images across a number of vendors, providing official images for <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00O7WM7QW">Amazon</a>, Google, and more. For self-hosted cloud, we also provide a <a href="https://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/images/CentOS-7-x86_64-GenericCloud.qcow2.xz">generic cloud-init enabled image.</a></p>
    <p>For more information about updates and improvements in CentOS 7, please check out the <a href="https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7">release notes</a> or the <a href="https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2018-May/022829.html">release announcement</a> in the mailing list archive.</p>
