CentOS Linux
Important information regarding CentOS
This free and open-source operating system is based on the RHEL source code. It has long provided a stable, reliable, and secure platform for applications. It is compatible with RHEL, offers an extensive software package repository, and easily integrates with popular open-source tools. In short, it is a scalable Linux distribution for various use cases. However, please note that as of December 8, 2020, this operating system is no longer actively developed, and starting from January 1, 2022, it is strongly discouraged to run CentOS in a production environment.
Migrating from CentOS to AlmaLinux: A Reliable and Future-Proof Alternative
Red Hat stated that the free CentOS operating system would no longer be developed after December 8, 2020. Instead, they would concentrate on the fundamentally different market-oriented CentOS Stream, which is also free. This meant that by the end of 2021, CentOS 8, which was released in 2019, would no longer be supported. Users of CentOS 8 were left with a difficult decision to make as a result of the drastically reduced timeframe for (security) updates. As of January 1, 2022, it is not recommended to run CentOS 8 in a production environment. As a result, we have thought about alternatives for both current and potential customers. We have decided that AlmaLinux is the best option after careful deliberation.
