The following is the tutorial column of centos to introduce to you about CentOS Linux9. I hope it will be helpful to friends in need!

In the evening of December 2020, Red Hat’s official website released an announcement announcing several things:

  • CentOS Linux 9 will not be released
  • CentOS Linux 8 The update support for CentOS Linux 7 will continue until December 31, 2021. The update support for CentOS Linux 7 will continue until June 30, 2024. The update support for CentOS Linux 6 has been Ends November 30, 2020
  • As part of RHEL 9 development, CentOS Stream 9 is scheduled to be released in Q2 2021 Continued update support for CentOS Stream 8
  • CentOS Stream is a version that has appeared since CentOS 8 in 2019. It is a rolling release Linux distribution between Fedora Linux and RedHat Enterprise Linux, aiming to Improve transparency and collaboration in the RHEL development process.
CentOS Linux is an open source alternative solution to Red Hat Enterprise Linux for enterprise commercial use, that is, our commonly used CentOS system. Because of its free and stable features, it is widely used in Internet companies.

As can be seen from this announcement by Red Hat, CentOS 7 has longer support time, and various information and support for CentOS 7 are now relatively complete, so it should be a better choice for enterprises to choose CentOS 7. Of course, this does not include traditional enterprise customers such as finance and securities firms who need commercial support. Of course, they will choose Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Oracle Linux. And innovative Internet companies such as

Facebook

have migrated millions of servers supporting their massive global social networks to their operating systems derived from CentOS Stream.

After this announcement, today Red Hat's official public account pushed another article "Q&A: CentOS Stream Update" to answer related questions.

Red Hat platform selection suggestions

Fedora Linux: A community project for those who want to build an operating system and integrate all related open source projects. This is where Red Hat and the wider community are rapidly working on operating system innovation. This work is undertaken by CentOS Stream and eventually RHEL.

CentOS Stream: A community project for ecosystem developers who want to see what will happen with the next version of RHEL and introduce changes that will make their hardware or software live. It also provides a place to develop technologies and tools to be ready for the next version of RHEL.

Red Hat Universal Base Image: A powerful container application development tool that provides a more secure and free redistributable container base image for creating containerized, cloud-native enterprise applications. With it, developers can more easily create certified applications on RHEL and across Red Hat’s open hybrid cloud portfolio, including Red Hat OpenShift. It also supports container images compatible with other operating systems.
  • RHEL Developer Subscription: A free, self-service support subscription for individuals (and soon teams) to develop and test Red Hat’s commercial and enterprise operating system products. It provides an application development/testing environment for applications deployed in production based on the stability, security, and high performance of RHEL. We also recommend joining the Red Hat Developer Program. For partners, we recommend joining the Red Hat Partner Connect program.
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux is Red Hat's Linux distribution, oriented to the commercial market, usually referred to as RHEL.
