Huawei Company regarding the completion of the infrastructure setup for the development of the new Linux distribution — , which will evolve the community. The project's website has already published the first release of openEuler 1.0, (3.2 GB) which is currently available only for systems based on the Aarch64 (ARM64) architecture. The repository contains about 1000 packages compiled for ARM64 and x86_64 architectures. The source code related to the distribution is hosted on . The source code of the packages is also available via Gitee.
openEuler is based on the developments of the commercial distribution , which is a fork of the CentOS package base and is mainly optimized for use on servers with ARM64 processors. The protection methods used in the EulerOS distribution are certified by the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China and are also recognized as compliant with CC EAL4+ (Germany), NIST CAVP (USA), and CC EAL2+ (USA) requirements. EulerOS is one of five operating systems (EulerOS, macOS, Solaris, HP-UX, and IBM AIX) and the only Linux distribution certified by the Open Group for compliance with the UNIX 03 standard.
At first glance, the differences between openEuler and CentOS are quite significant and go beyond just rebranding. For example, openEuler is Linux kernel 4.19, systemd 243, bash 5.0, and
the desktop based on GNOME 3.30. Many ARM64-specific optimizations have been made, some of which have already been transferred to the main codebases of the Linux kernel, GCC, OpenJDK, and Docker. are not available only in Chinese.
Among the features of the distribution is an automatic optimization system , which uses machine learning techniques to tune system parameters. It also offers its own simplified management tools for isolated containers , runtime (Lightweight Container Runtime, compatible with OCI, but unlike runc, it is written in C and uses gRPC) and a network configurator. .
