AlmaLinux opens software and hardware certification to users

AlmaLinux has launched its first software certification program and rewritten its hardware test suite, with results from both paths landing in one public catalog. Certification is free, and the alma-certify tool now completes runs in under 10 minutes without requiring an AlmaLinux installation.

• Software and hardware certification is free, with results posted to a shared public catalog
• alma-certify completes certification runs in under 10 minutes on most hardware
• No AlmaLinux install needed: tests run from live media
• The catalog offers a free read-only API for bulk data collection
