- Cloud service providers working with U.S. federal agencies are required to meet FedRAMP’s strict security, cryptography, and reporting standards. This process is often complex, time sensitive, and difficult to manage without the right tools in place.
- The TuxCare FedRAMP Bundle for AlmaLinux simplifies this challenge by delivering FIPS-validated cryptography, real-time vulnerability reporting, and rebootless patching – helping organizations stay compliant without sacrificing control or uptime.
- Whether you’re re-platforming after CentOS EOL, expanding your federal service portfolio, or building compliance into a new cloud-native application, the TuxCare FedRAMP Bundle for AlmaLinux provides a secure, compliant foundation without adding operational complexity.
If you’re delivering cloud services to the U.S. federal government, FedRAMP compliance is required. But meeting its strict requirements for FIPS-validated cryptography, continuous vulnerability remediation, operational continuity, and ongoing compliance reporting can be challenging. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the TuxCare FedRAMP Bundle for AlmaLinux, a purpose-built solution that helps cloud providers meet core FedRAMP requirements faster and more efficiently, while keeping operations running smoothly and securely.
Whether you’re migrating away from CentOS, stuck on unsupported enterprise distros, or starting a new cloud project, this bundle provides a FedRAMP-compliant foundation built specifically for government-focused environments.
Why This Matters
Operating in the federal cloud space means aligning with FedRAMP’s strict security and compliance standards, based on the NIST 800-53 framework. These controls are designed to ensure that cloud systems used by U.S. government agencies are secure, resilient, and continuously monitored – but meeting these expectations can be difficult without the right tools in place. Key requirements include:
- FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography to protect sensitive data at rest and in transit – a challenge when upstream support is limited or ends before your system’s lifecycle does, and especially burdensome if your organization must pursue FIPS validation independently, which can be a lengthy and costly process.
- Timely vulnerability remediation, with defined deadlines for addressing security flaws – which can overwhelm internal teams, especially when patching introduces service disruption.
- Operational continuity and incident response readiness, supported by tested contingency plans – often hard to maintain while balancing uptime, patching, and time-sensitive compliance deadlines.
- Continuous Monitoring (ConMon) deliverables, including vulnerability scans, risk status updates, and ongoing reporting – which require accurate, low-noise data and tight alignment with monthly federal audit cycles.
Meeting these demands takes more than meeting technical checkboxes – it requires a reliable, secure foundation like AlmaLinux, strengthened by the automation and compliance support TuxCare brings to the table.
Why Choose AlmaLinux for FedRAMP Workloads?
AlmaLinux for government cloud workloads is a smart, stable choice. It is a community-driven, enterprise-grade Linux distribution that’s fully RHEL-compatible – offering transparency, and long-term support. When combined with TuxCare’s FIPS-validated cryptography, security automation, and compliance tooling, AlmaLinux becomes a powerful FedRAMP-aligned Linux platform for cloud service providers handling sensitive government workloads – including systems that process personal data, healthcare records, law enforcement information, or mission-critical services where continuous compliance and operational resilience are essential.
Making AlmaLinux FedRAMP-ready with TuxCare
Continuous FIPS 140-3 Compliance with Extended Security Updates
FedRAMP requires that all cryptographic modules meet FIPS 140-3 standards. TuxCare Extended Security Updates for AlmaLinux deliver FIPS-validated cryptography for AlmaLinux, along with ongoing FIPS-compliant security patches that do not break FIPS validation. Even after upstream support ends, you can maintain a secure system with long-term FIPS continuity, while meeting FedRAMP remediation requirements – including timely fixes, audit traceability, and cryptographic integrity.
Accurate Real-Time Vulnerability Reporting with TuxCare Radar
Keeping track of vulnerabilities is essential – but false positives can slow your team down. TuxCare Radar provides real-time vulnerability risk visibility with highly accurate reporting that supports your ConMon documentation and reporting needs. It’s purpose-built for teams that want to stay ahead of threats without over-alerting or manual digging.
Zero-Downtime Security Patching with KernelCare Enterprise and LibCare
FedRAMP also emphasizes operational continuity and incident response preparedness. KernelCare Enterprise with Libcare enables rebootless (live) patching for all kernel-level vulnerabilities and vulnerabilities in critical shared libraries – meaning you can apply critical updates without rebooting systems or disrupting services. This keeps your infrastructure resilient and secure while aligning with FedRAMP’s continuity and contingency controls.
