CentOS Stream is an open-source software project built on the foundation of the CentOS operating system. It provides an advanced environment for users and system administrators to deploy and manage applications on servers.

A notable aspect of CentOS Stream is its flexibility in delivering updates and newer features compared to the traditional CentOS Linux. CentOS Stream can be considered a "preview" for upcoming features of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), allowing the user community to test and experiment before these features are formally integrated into RHEL.

Therefore, CentOS Stream plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of the open-source operating system, enabling the user community to actively participate in the building and improvement of CentOS as well as preparing for upcoming changes in RHEL
