Minimal ready-to-use LVM-partitioned AlmaLinux 9.5 Gold Image

AlmaLinux is an open source Linux distribution, created originally by CloudLinux to provide a community-supported, production-grade enterprise operating system that is binary-compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).

This is a minimal ready-to-use AlmaLinux 9.5 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:

1:1 binary compatible with RedHat 9.
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 AlmaLinux 9.5 '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)
