The Armbian project has announced the release of new cloud-optimized images for its Linux distribution, designed to run on both x86 and AArch64 (ARM64) hardware architectures. These images are developed based on the latest Debian 12 “Bookworm” and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat), and they come with several advanced features.
Notably, the new Armbian cloud images promote ultra-fast boot times, a minimal system footprint, and a reduced attack surface. They will also include Docker support out of the box and leverage ZRAM for memory management. An additional feature is the Armbian-config tool, which facilitates easy customization of the images.
These cloud-optimized images are compatible with all major cloud providers, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. They are also suitable for end users utilizing QEMU KVM and Proxmox virtualization platforms.
The Armbian team has emphasized that these images are specifically designed for modern cloud environments, boasting improved performance and compatibility with leading cloud services. Furthermore, they provide a customizable build framework, enabling enterprises and individual developers to tailor the cloud images according to their unique branding and requirements.
Individuals interested in deploying Armbian Linux on the cloud can download the disk images, available in QCOW2 format for QEMU or in an Azure image format, directly from the official website.
This initiative underscores Armbian’s commitment to providing a fast, secure, and flexible Linux environment tailored for cloud deployments, making it an appealing option for users and developers alike.
