The CentOS Project has announced several significant changes to its roadmap that may affect infrastructure and deployment plans for online businesses, data centers, and end users.
These changes announced by CentOS include:
- Accelerated end-of-life for CentOS 8; no further operating system updates will be available after December 31, 2021. NYhost.net has already downgraded all CentOS 8 servers to CentOS 7.9.
- CentOS 8 will be transformed into an upstream (development) branch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) called CentOS Stream; previous CentOS versions will remain part of the stable branch. This means that CentOS 8 should not be considered for use in production environments.
The CentOS 7 lifecycle will remain unchanged as of this writing (June 2nd, 2021), with updates and security patches continuing to be available through June of 2024. Though this timeline could potentially change in the future.
NYhost.net will continue to develop VPS and Dedicated Servers with CentOS 7.9 until 2023. We'll eventually switch to Linux Debian in the future.
