## Cloud and container images
|
|
|
401d07 |
|
|

We build, maintain and update Cloud images that you can find on our [Cloud Images server](https://cloud.centos.org/centos).
|
|
|
34ad21 |
|
|
|
34ad21 |
These images are built and made available for all the architectures that corresponding version supports.
|
|
|
34ad21 |
|
|
|
34ad21 |
People interested in importing 'GenericCloud' images into their own cloud solution can find corresponding images on the link above.
|
|
|
34ad21 |
|
|
|
34ad21 |
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.
|
|
|
34ad21 |
|
|
|
34ad21 |
Parallel to that, we have also official images that are available directly to be deployed for the following solutions:

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
|
|

401d07 |
source packages used to build CentOS, you can find them in our vault
|
