This page provides general operating system (OS) details and feature support for the OS images that are available on Compute Engine.
Some OS images are customized specifically to run on Compute Engine and have notable differences from the standard images that come directly from the operating system vendors. These differences are also covered for each OS.
For information about how support and maintenance is provided for these OS images on Compute Engine, based on support package, license type, and image lifecycle stage, see Support and maintenance policy for OS images.
CentOS
CentOS Linux is a free operating system that is derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Google Cloud builds and supports the CentOS images available for Compute Engine. There is no license fee for using CentOS with Compute Engine.
CentOS Stream is a distribution that is continuously delivered and tracks just ahead of RHEL development. CentOS Stream is positioned as a midstream development platform between Fedora Linux and RHEL.
Automatic updates
By default, this operating system is configured to install security updates by using the RHEL
yum-cron
or dnf-automatic
tool. The updates have the following behaviors:
- The
yum-cron
ordnf-automatic
does not upgrade VMs between major versions of the operating system. - The upgrade tool is configured to only apply updates marked by the vendor as security updates.
- Some updates require reboots to take effect. These reboots do not happen automatically.
Image configuration
The CentOS and CentOS Stream images that are provided by Compute Engine, have the following differences in configuration from standard CentOS images:
Account configuration
- There are no local users configured with passwords.
Bootloader configuration
- To force faster boot times, the boot timeout in the grub configuration is set to
0
. - The I/O scheduler is set to
noop
.
Network configuration
- IPv6 is enabled.
- The DHCP client is set to retry every 10 seconds instead of every 5 minutes. The client is also set to
persistent mode
instead ofoneshot
. - The SSH server configuration is set up as follows:
- Password authentication is disabled.
- To prevent SSH disconnections,
ServerAliveInterval
andClientAliveInterval
are set to 7 minutes. - Root login is disabled.
/etc/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules
is disabled.- To prevent MAC addresses from persisting,
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
is removed. - By default, all traffic is allowed through the guest firewall because the VPC firewall rules overrides the guest firewall rules. The guest firewall rules remains enabled and can be configured through normal CentOS methods.
- VMs based on Google-provided Linux images get their interface MTU
from the attached VPC MTU. VMs based on custom images or older
Linux images may have their MTU's hardcoded. In these cases, you have to change
the setting yourself if you want to connect the interface to a network with an
MTU other than
1460
. For more information about network and interface MTU, see the maximum transmission unit overview.
Package system and repository configuration
- Google Cloud repositories are enabled to install packages for the Compute Engine
guest environment
and the Google Cloud CLI.
- Repositories are set to use the CentOS default mirror network.
- For CentOS Stream 8, the PowerTools repository is enabled.
- For CentOS 7, EPEL is enabled.
- Automatic updates are configured as follows:
- For CentOS 7, automatic updates are enabled by using
yum-cron
. - For CentOS Stream, automatic updates are enabled by using
dnf automatic
. - For all versions, the
update_cmd
property is set tosecurity
.However, by default CentOS does not offer security tagged repositories. - IPv6 endpoints are disabled in the
yum
ordnf config
files for all versions.
- For CentOS 7, automatic updates are enabled by using
Storage configuration
- By default, images are 20 GB. This is the recommended minimum size.
- The partition table is
GPT
, and there is anEFI
partition to support booting onUEFI
. - The floppy module is disabled because there is no floppy disk controller on Compute Engine .
Time configuration
- The NTP server is set to use the Compute Engine metadata server.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is an open-source Linux operating system that provides both server and desktop operating systems. Google Cloud builds and supports the RHEL OS images available for Compute Engine.
RHEL images are premium resources that incur additional fees to use. If you want to use an existing RHEL subscription, you can use the Red Hat Cloud Access feature.
The Red Hat Knowledgebase provides you with access to articles, solutions, product documentation, and community discussions. The Red Hat Knowledgebase is available as a single-sign-on (SSO) option through the Google Cloud console. See Access Red Hat Knowledgebase.
To view a list of frequently asked questions when running RHEL on Compute Engine, see Red Hat Enterprise Linux FAQ.
Automatic updates
By default, this operating system is configured to install security updates by using the RHEL
yum-cron
(RHEL 7) or dnf automatic
(RHEL 8+) tool. The updates have the
following behaviors:
- These automatic updates from the operating system vendor do not upgrade instances between major versions of the operating system.
- Starting with RHEL 7, the operating system is also configured to only apply updates marked by the vendor as security updates.
- Some updates require reboots to take effect. These reboots do not happen automatically.
Image configuration
The RHEL image build configuration is available in an open source GitHub repository.
RHEL images are always built with the latest RHEL packages, which reflect the most recent point release. Currently, you cannot pin a VM to a point release.
RHEL for SAP images are tagged to the specific point release they are built for as supported by Red Hat.
The RHEL images that are provided by Compute Engine, have the following differences in configuration from standard RHEL images:
Account configuration
- There are no local users configured with passwords.
Bootloader configuration
- To force faster boot times, the boot timeout in the grub configuration is set to
0
. - The I/O scheduler is set to
noop
.
Network configuration
- IPv6 is enabled.
- The DHCP client is set to retry every 10 seconds instead of every 5 minutes. The client is also set
to
persistent mode
instead ofoneshot
