Description: The AlmaLinux ISO file format is a disk image used to distribute the AlmaLinux operating system, a Linux distribution based on RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux). This file format contains an exact copy of all the data found on an optical disc, such as a CD or DVD, allowing users to install the operating system easily and efficiently. ISO images are widely recognized for their ability to be mounted on modern operating systems, facilitating installation without the need for physical media. Additionally, the ISO format is compatible with various disc burning tools and virtualization software, making it a versatile option for developers and system administrators. AlmaLinux, launched in 2021 in response to the discontinuation of CentOS, has gained popularity among users seeking a stable and free alternative to RHEL. The AlmaLinux ISO image includes all the necessary packages for a complete installation, as well as options to customize the installation according to user needs. This format not only simplifies the installation process but also allows for the creation of testing and development environments through virtualization, which is essential in the world of software development and server management.
