| ## 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 |
| |
| 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). |
| |
