Hi Team, we have a PoC where we wish to try Creating OpenStack Baremetal Instance using Alma Linux. Please help in case that is possible, any reference where we can use the Alma Images to instantiate the Baremetal Instance.

Since Alma is aiming to be binary compatible with RHEL I think doing this would certainly be possible. You may have to keep local, or propose patches to diskimage-builder to add Alma support. Also RDO packages are built against CentOS so re-building the RDO RPM's from source on Alma is probably required. (Since CentOS-Stream is not binary compatible with RHEL, I assume some RDO packages won't work without a re-compile against the ALMA libraries) -- Harald
