Holy Moly... I'm using CentOS on a couple of boxes at work. Hadn't heard about CentOS being killed off. Thanks for the heads up, Rainmaker... will need to migrate them over to something else eventually.
You managed to miss that?
It was a huge scandal the other week. Red Hat have not just killed CentOS as in "they're not releasing any more after this". They've also killed the almost brand new
current version, which was supposed to be EOL in 2029 and is now useless - after many enterprises have rolled it out into production.
You can probably thank the IBM takeover for that, but RH gonna RH.
All its support, security patches and updates for all versions now stops
this year. You'll need to migrate away sooner than later. You're realistically looking at Oracle, Rocky Linux from the original CentOS creator ('coming soon') or - perhaps most favourable overall - Alma Linux from the people who make CloudOS. They have a long proven track record, have a huge amount of money behind them, are already invested in repackaging RHEL for their existing business, and they're open source friendly *cough* IBM/Red Hat *cough*. They will be providing a simple shell script to swap the repos over from existing CentOS installs and to 'convert' them to Alma (or Rocky) going forward. Easy enough in theory.
Of course there's always Debian and OpenSUSE (or Ubuntu LTS + extended support), but I imagine you'd prefer to stay RHEL compatible.
