IBM Kills Off CentOS
CentOS has long been a RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) clone and a key part of the ecosystem. With IBM's acquisition of Red Hat and CentOS, we had high hopes for even more being put into these products. Instead, IBM announced quite suddenly a few weeks ago that they are discontinuing the CentOS product and replacing it with a distantly related CentOS Stream product that all but defeats the purpose of CentOS as it was known. What does this tell us about IBM, the future of RHEL, our ability to rely on these products in product; and what do we do now if we were depending on CentOS?
