Charon-SSP for Linux
Please note:
- The versions listed here are the ones for which Charon-SSP provides all the kernel modules necessary for special features, such as PCI pass-through, Charon-SSP+, and MMU pass-through (Charon-SSP version 6). The kernel module support depends on the unchanged kernel versions associated with the Linux version listed. In older versions of Charon-SSP, the SSP+ support was limited to the Baremetal distribution and the cloud marketplace distributions.
- If the features provided by the kernel modules are not needed, Charon-SSP may work with additional Linux versions and kernels. Tests are required.
- Development versions are not listed. For example: RHEL 9.1 was initially supported in the development/pre-release Charon-SSP version 5.7.3. In the table below, Linx version 9.1 is listed for Charon-SSP 6.0.1, the first official version supporting it. A more detailed information about intermediate versions can be found in the Release notes.
- Only 64-bit versions of Linux are supported.
Limited support for Amazon Linux 2023 (starting with Charon-SSP version 5.6.7). Only the non-plus versions are supported and a supported Charon-SSP AWS marketplace image must be used to launch the instance. MMU pass-through (Charon-SSP version 6) requires kernel version 6.1.61-85.
