At the time of this announcement, Media2 and Media3 are still being uploaded. We are sorry for the inconvenience

As usual there is a lot to say about the Public Beta of SLE 15 SP2, and overall we made more than 840 updates to our packages. Please check out the "Important Notice" and "Notable Changes" section below for more information.

Important Notice

  *   SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 Service Pack 2 (SLE 15 SP2) is a Refresh Service Pack.
  *   Media Changes: Easier handling of online vs offline installation. The Unified Installer and Packages DVDs known from SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP1 are deprecated and have been replaced by the following media:
     *   Online Installation Media: All SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 products can be installed with this lightweight stand alone media, after entering a registration key<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https://www.suse.com/betaprogram/sle-beta/%23faq-reg&c=E%2C10%2Czb2A8j01ZYeS4I/xpQlm9FkW5KjSj2l8C1G1M7/fmKM0kEQNTTBrJQwYAP6n78tqO7EFzi9ESNlDAR3p&typo=1&know=0>. The necessary packages are fetched from online repositories only.
     *   Full Installation Media: All SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 products can be installed without network connection with this media, for offline installation scenarios. The media contains all necessary packages. It consists of directories with module repositories which need to be added manually as needed. RMT (Repository Mirroring Tool) and SUSE Manager provide additional options for disconnected or managed installation.
Please also note that we have replaced the word "DVD" by "Media" for the ISO names.
  *   Maven: as a Technical Preview. Version 3.6.2 has been added.

Changes to our SLE Pre-Releases
Today's challenges are common to every developer, you need to "release early, release often"<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Release_early,_release_often>, but also make sure you have the best feedback loop and collaboration with your users.
So we are excited to present you our response to these challenges with our new way of providing SUSE Linux Enterprise Pre-Release!
The SLE 15 SP2 schedule<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https://www.suse.com/betaprogram/sle-beta/%23releases&c=E%2C10%2CFeT/DU/Gns68dC7htzQtW8S9FOzlKi7ze4pRlI%2BPWGqNPAp3KGI0dry2%2Bu7Di5HLuZzfalr4pqTsi8bZ&typo=1&know=0> introduces some significant changes to the former SLE schedule that you might be used to.
In the past, like for SLE 15 SP1 Public Beta Program, all testers (Internal, Technology Partners, Public) were receiving the same images with the same cadence, about 2-3 weeks.
However for Internal and Partners, the 2-3 weeks cadence of official and fully tested images, from our internal automated and manual QA, was too long. And providing around 7-8 pre-releases to our Public beta testers, was also difficult for some to cope with.
Thus as part of the examination of the new challenges we took three major decisions:

  *   Increase the cadence of internal milestones to our developers and Technology Partners,
Bring more flexibility into the testing schedules of our developers and Technology Partners.
  *   Reduce number of Public Pre-Release images to 3,
Only one Beta, one Release Candidate and one Gold Master Candidate will be available on download.suse.com.
  *   Provide more updates through our Beta Online Channels,
Changes in the weekly internal milestones will be provided to the Public as updates through our SLE 15 SP2 Beta Online Channels.

We hope this approach will address the needs of our different beta stakeholders. The "hardcore" testers get more frequent images to test and validate, our Public testers get fewer ISOs to install but still get frequent updates from our Engineering. Of course, we are highly interested by your feedback and experience to make any adaptations or changes in the future. Contact us at beta-programs at lists.suse.com<mailto:beta-programs at lists.suse.com>!
