If you're pretty well married to CentOS, then RHEL's new freebie program might 
appeal:

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/01/centos-is-gone-but-rhel-is-now-free-for-up-to-16-production-servers/

Granted, it's only good up to 16 production servers, and targeting development 
users, but that would cover a fair number using CentOS.

Subject: [lug:18728] CentOS Changes

Hello,

Recently Centos posted on their blog a shift to Centos Stream. Link to article: 
https://blog.centos.org/2020/12/future-is-centos-stream/

Looks like Centos 8 EOL will be pushed up to December 2021, while Centos 7 EOL 
remains until 2024. Centos users are recommended to migrate to Centos Stream. 
From what I understand, this almost seems like an upstream development branch 
for redhat.

I've heard that Oracle linux is taking advantage of the situation as well: 
https://linux.oracle.com/switch/centos/ They are providing a script that 
essentially turns an existing Centos system into Oracle linux.

I just wanted to post this here to inform others and to see if anyone had 
opinions or thoughts on alternatives to Centos.
