Minimal ready-to-use LVM-partitioned CentOS Stream 8 Gold Image

CentOS Stream is a Linux distribution where open source community members can develop, test, and contribute to a continuously delivered distribution upstream for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), all in tandem with Red Hat developers.

This is a minimal ready-to-use CentOS Stream 8 Gold Image having the 30 GiB OS disk managed with LVM (Logical Volume Manager).

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:

Azure Linux Agent and cloud-init are included.
Accelerated Networking is supported.
Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is enabled.
The default 30 GiB OS disk is LVM-partitioned.
All security updates available at the release date are included.

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 CentOS8 Stream 'Minimal Install' group of packages and a single 30 GiB OS disk split like this:

/boot 512 MiB.
/ (root) 4 GiB.
/tmp 2 GiB.
/usr 10 GiB.
/opt 2 GiB.
/home 2 GiB.
/var rest of the free space (9.5 GiB)
