RHEL/CentOS 7 support

[prupert]

RHEL and CentOS 7 have been out for some months now. Is there any news on when ASL will offer support for EL 7?

[scott]

Sure, the beta is available right now through the regular installer

[prupert]

Thanks, I got the impression that there were still some issues with compatibility. Perhaps you can disclose when you expect ASL to be ready for production on EL 7.

Any news on when ASL 4 for EL 7 will become production-ready?

By the way, the ASL 4 installer for EL 7 will not work because the 'asl' package has a requirement on the 'ipset' package which is not published in the asl-4.0 el7 repo:

Code: Select all

-> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: 1:asl-4.0.8-19.el7.art.x86_64 (asl-4.0)
           Requires: ipset >= 6.22
           Available: ipset-6.19-4.el7.x86_64 (base)
               ipset = 6.19-4.el7
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Is there more information on when ASL 4 for EL 7 reaches production quality?

Hello,

Centos 7 is still listed under beta-support. Is there a date for final release yet?

Kind regards -Stephan

In Q1 2015 some time. Input from beta testers will definitely help advance things along!

[stephan-zrh]

Thanks for the reply. We'll go with Centos 6.

We have Q2 and it's still beta. Any news?

[scott]

Yup! Its going to be in 4.0.11, our next release. The plan is to have that out next week.

That good news. Thank you. Because we will move our servers to Centos 7.

Thats where we are heading as well, and we'll be expanding Atomic Rev Limiter into EL7 in ways we can't on EL6. There are some seriously powerful components in that environment around Namespaces (like docker!) that are really beneficial for resource management as well as compartmentalizing a user, or group, or process.

I'm happy and looking forward to the new version. Thank you.

We installed it and we have the problem after reboot with ASL kernel. We use Atomic PHP 5.4 for our shared hsoting clients but it looks like ASL kernel block php-fpm from Atomic PHP 5.4. The system is going wild with 100 % Nginx CPU usage and PHP-FPM is restarting nonstop. Web pages are unavailable. We rebooted again to Centos kernel.

Have you any idea why happen?

[scott]

Well since there isnt a kernel for RHEL / Centos 7 yet, we can rule out the kernel (There is no ASL kernel for Centos 7 yet).
