Background:

The Community Platform Engineering group is the Red Hat team combining IT and release engineering from Fedora and CentOS. Our goal is to keep core servers and services running and maintained, build releases, and other strategic tasks that need more dedicated time than volunteers can give.

See our wiki page here for more information: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/cpe/

Planning a date in late August for an AMA session with GitLab that
will be run through IRC for any questions the Fedora and CentOS
communities may have to ask direct.
We will keep you up to date with the developments as and when we have
information to share and thank you again for your patience.

CentOS Updates

CentOS

* New website went live (https://www.centos.org)
* A new AWS CDN setup for Stream composes
(https://composes.centos.org) is being worked on with a goal to have
the latest stream artifacts to be publicly available and at faster
speed than through normal mirror.centos.org cdn (and/or external
mirrors)

Centos Other

* CentOS CI began onboarding Fedora CI, CoreOS CI and Fedora CoreOS as
tenants this week
* Work going well and stable!

CentOS Stream

* RealTime for Stream is released!
* The team are also working on more module builds for Stream

As always, feedback is welcome, and we will continue to look at ways
to improve the delivery and readability of this weekly report.

Have a great week ahead!
