Posted 21:31 UTC (Wed) by khim (subscriber, #9252) Granted, there's lots of people in the first category all I'm saying is it isn't about IBM and it isn't about someone wanting to fire someone else to save money. If they were developing their own rebuild of RHEL, it will be better for them. If they were using CentOS or RHEL itself to develop applications for RHEL, it will be better for them because they'll be able to contribute bugfixes to CentOS Stream early, or have early access to kernel updates (I'd estimate that 20-30% of the upstream kernel changes are backported for every RHEL minor update).

So if people were using CentOS as a free rebuild of RHEL they're having a bad surprise. A distro is just a means to an end, and since 2014 when Red Hat acquired CentOS things have changed enough that a rebuild of RHEL isn't a good match anymore for what Red Hat wants CentOS to be. itself says it delivers "a robust open source ecosystem around a Linux platform". More simply, Red Hat didn't really care about CentOS-the-rebuild-of-RHEL, they cared about CentOS-the-basis-for-developing-what-will-run-on-RHEL. It may not be a pleasant change for everyone, but it's a change that has strictly technical motives. So the solution was to move CentOS from happening *after* RHEL to *before* RHEL.Īnd that's it. Some of them require the kind of bleeding edge feature that is backported every six months to the RHEL kernel, and corresponding userspace changes (BPF, virtualization, etc.) and cannot afford waiting for the CentOS release because development must be done in parallel with RHEL. These days a RHEL downstream is not enough for the layered products. The solution was to make CentOS releases happen timely by paying people to make them. This is not about IBM and not about beancounting.ĬentOS was acqui-hired because Red Hat's upstream for layered products (at the time mostly RDO and oVirt) could not use Fedora because it was too far from RHEL a year of two after RHEL was released, could not use RHEL because upstream contributors would have to pay, and could not use CentOS because its releases had too large delays. Until those packages make it into the RHEL release." Generally speaking, weĮxpect CentOS Stream to have fewer bugs and more runtime features than RHEL Will be getting fixes and features ahead of RHEL.

More information can be found in this FAQ. That CentOS Stream will not meet your needs, we encourage you to contact You are using CentOS Linux 8 in a production environment, and are concerned Linux 8, and has regular updates like traditional CentOS Linux releases. Will be to migrate to CentOS Stream 8, which is a small delta from CentOS " When CentOS Linux 8 (the rebuild of RHEL8) ends, your best option Scheduled, but support for CentOS 8 will go away at the end of 2021. CentOS will be replacedīy "CentOS Stream", which looks like a sort of beta test for changes going An end to the CentOS distribution as we know it.
