## Why CentOS Hyperscale

The CentOS Hyperscale SIG focuses on enabling CentOS Stream deployment on large-scale infrastructures and facilitating collaboration on packages and tooling.

      
CentOS Hyperscale integrates faster-tracking backports of core base packages such as [systemd](https://sigs.centos.org/hyperscale/content/repositories/main/#systemd)

      
CentOS Hyperscale provides an updated kernel tracking [ARK](https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark) with [btrfs](https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page) and [Kernel Live Patching](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/livepatch/livepatch.html) support

      
CentOS Hyperscale provides a way to deploy and test emerging technologies such as [RPM Copy-on-Write](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RPMCoW)

## Enable Hyperscale

To enable the [Hyperscale main repositories](https://sigs.centos.org/hyperscale/content/repositories/main/) on an existing CentOS Stream system run

```bash

sudo dnf install centos-release-hyperscale

sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb

```

We also provide a set of [experimental packages](https://sigs.centos.org/hyperscale/content/repositories/experimental/) that can be enabled with

```bash

sudo dnf install centos-release-hyperscale-experimental

```

## Download Hyperscale

The CentOS Hyperscale SIG produces a number of images that integrate and showcase the technologies the SIG focuses on. Please report any issues with these images on our [tracker](https://pagure.io/centos-sig-hyperscale/spin-bugs).

[Live ISOs](https://sigs.centos.org/hyperscale/content/spins/workstation/) are available in both GNOME and KDE flavors. These can both be used to evaluate the system and to perform an installation. [Cloud images](https://sigs.centos.org/hyperscale/content/spins/cloud/) can be used to deploy CentOS Hyperscale on various public clouds.
