Random Though of the Day - Whatever happened to Suse Studio?






Whatever happened to Suse Studio?

SUSE Studio was an online Linux software creation tool by SUSE that allowed users to build custom Linux distributions and software appliances based on openSUSE or SUSE Linux Enterprise. It supported creating various image formats for virtual machines, cloud, and physical media. However, SUSE Studio was officially shut down on February 15, 2018. It was replaced by SUSE Studio Express, which integrates with the Open Build Service (OBS), a more powerful and flexible platform for building and distributing Linux packages and images. The onsite version of SUSE Studio also ended support by March 31, 2019, with users encouraged to migrate to OBS for enhanced functionality like building container images and supporting multiple architectures[1][4][2].

In summary, SUSE Studio no longer exists as a standalone service and has been succeeded by tools centered around the Open Build Service ecosystem.


However,

The Open Build Service (OBS) that replaced SUSE Studio is available online. It provides a web interface and API for building packages and images, accessible through websites like https://build.opensuse.org where users can create accounts and use the OBS Web UI to manage builds and packages[1][2]. OBS is actively maintained and supports building for multiple distributions and formats, with ongoing feature improvements and a user community discussing its use[3][4][5].
