Community Compatibility is open to anyone in the Rocky Linux ecosystem at no cost, allowing vendors to self-attest and publish compatibility findings in the public catalogue.<\/p>\n<p>The second level, Vendor Verified, is for software companies, hardware suppliers and AI platform providers that want a more formal validation process. The third, CIQ Certified, is for organisations and vendors seeking formal certification.<\/p>\n<p>CIQ is positioning the resource for both technology vendors and the enterprise teams that buy and deploy their products. In practice, procurement and IT departments can use the catalogue as a reference when assessing operating system support for servers, software packages and AI infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>That is particularly important in environments where support and validation influence purchasing decisions, especially in sectors running specialist hardware or regulated workloads. For customers deploying security-focused operating systems or systems tuned for AI and high-performance computing, compatibility checks often need to go beyond whether a product runs on a&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itbrief.com.au\/story\/ciq-launches-c3-compatibility-catalogue-for-rocky-linux\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CIQ launches C3 compatibility catalogue for Rocky Linux https:\/\/itbrief.com.au\/story\/ciq-launches-c3-compatibility-catalogue-for-rocky-linux Publish Date: 2026-04-07 15:12:00 Source Domain:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":232268,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/itbrief.com.au\/uploads\/story\/2026\/04\/08\/compatible_flux-result-0dd34aa9-931c-46a1-a8f0-19f25e4c9377.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71,112,57],"class_list":["post-232267","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux","tag-rocky-linux","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232267"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=232267"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232267\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":232269,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232267\/revisions\/232269"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/232268"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=232267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=232267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=232267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
