[CentOS] CentOS Stream suitability as a production webserver

Hello I've recently discovered the announcement regarding the change in direction for the CentOS project and I imagine like many others, I'm confused and concerned about what this means moving forward. I work for a small web development agency and we offer hosting as part of our package to client

I guess we need to wait and see how the dust settles. For those lucky enough to still be on CentOS 7, there's a bit of breathing space although these things take time to plan and implement of course. Those unlucky enough to have updated to CentOS 8 have less than a year to decide to move to stream

In that case, it sounds like a non-issue for the way we currently use CentOS. As there's a simple migration from CentOS 8 to Stream and Digital Ocean currently provide CentOS 8 images, it'll be interesting to see what they do moving forward. ___ CentOS m

Off topic for sure, but it's a shame this has to be a manual process of destroying and rebuilding every X years. Even Microsoft has gone the Apple way and just perpetually updates Windows 10 now. On Tue, 5 Jan 2021 at 23:20, Gordon Messmer wrote: > On 1/5/21 3:02 PM, Jamie Burche

I'm thinking at least for my situation and has already been said, Stream might actually be a positive but I shall wait and see what happens. And as for the 5 years LTS, that will be the same for every distro anyway. Cheers Jamie > On 6 Jan 2021, at 17:56, Mauricio Tavares wrote: >

The RHEL announcement is of no use to me or my company. We spin up DigitalOcean droplets for each of our client websites/apps. If we were utilising horizontal scaling we'd have even more droplets per website/app. We'd easily have over 16 installations. > On 21 Jan 2021, at 19:57, Scott Techlist
