Minimal ready-to-use CentOS 7 Gold Image

CentOS is a Linux distribution that provides an open-source community-supported computing platform, functionally compatible with its upstream source, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).

This is a minimal ready-to-use CentOS 7 Gold Image that is automatically updated at launch with latest security patches making sure you are always running the most secure version available.

Mainly used as a common base system on top of which other appliances could be built and tested, it contains just enough packages to run within Azure, bring up an SSH Server and allow users to login.

Main highlights:

Functionally compatible with its upstream source, RHEL 7.
Azure Linux Agent and cloud-init are included.
Accelerated Networking is supported.
Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is enabled.
Automatically updated at launch with latest patches.

Root login is disabled and only the user account specified at launch time is allowed to connect, preferably using ssh public key authentication.

Built using CentOS 7 'Minimal Install' group of packages and a single 30 GiB OS disk. Both root partition and the corresponding filesystem are automatically extended during boot if the selected disk size is bigger than the default one.
