Rocky Linux as a supported OS for Broadworks

The Broadworks Software Management guide will be discontinuing CentOS as a supported operating system after version 7.x, leaving only RedHat or Oracle. This request is to allow Rocky Linux https://rockylinux.org/ as a supported option.

    It's great to see that Rocky Linux is now a supported operating system for BroadWorks. This compatibility paves the way for enhanced customization and integration options. With the flexibility to custom software solutions tailored to specific business needs, organizations can leverage the power of BroadWorks on a platform that suits them best. This synergy between Rocky Linux and BroadWorks opens doors for innovation, improved performance, and a seamless user experience.

    FYI, this is not the place to request BroadWorks server enhancements. Those should be routed through your BroadWorks account team. To the request: Rocky Linux will not be supported. The "free" option we will continue to support to support is the Oracle Linux (which can be used as a free or paid/supported option.)
