When would CentOS 7 for POWER9 be released?
Does somebody know when the CentOS 7.5 for POWER9 would be released? i only saw 1804 being released on 7th, May: http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/ppc64le/

Forgive me my ignorance, but aren't those .iso images exactly the ones you are looking for?

As i know, those .iso images is built for POWER8 instead of POWER9, please correct me if i'm wrong.
Re: When would CentOS 7 for POWER9 be released?
OK, after asking around a bit I'm told the POWER9 packages and images are still being worked on. Those ppc64le images will indeed only work on POWER8.

There is no official schedule for CentOS 7.5.1804 POWER9. I'm optimistic that at the very least a technology preview will be ready before the end of June 2018. There are only a handful of rpms to build, sign and test. That said, CentOS won't receive any POWER9 hardware until later this year. That makes testing a more creative exercise

Answering on behalf of jpoc: Yes, there will be an announcement posted to the centos-announce mailing list.
