CentOS is a fork of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and undoubtedly a popular choice to deploy on production servers because of its rock-solid stability and compatibility. But, now with CentOS Stream, Red Hat just killed CentOS as we know it. And as expected, people started to fork Red Hat to give a viable community-based alternative to RHEL.

As we already maintain CloudLinux OS, we plan to release a free, open-sourced, community-driven, 1:1 binary compatible fork of RHEL® 8 (and future releases) in the Q1 of 2021. We will create a separate, totally free operating system (OS) that is fully binary compatible with RHEL® 8 (and future versions). We will sponsor the development & maintenance of such OS and work on establishing a community around this OS, with the governing board from members of the community.

Testing is essential for any software update including patches, but it’s even more essential when changes are made to critical infrastructure that powers revenue-impacting services. Release of security updates that are not thoroughly tested may result in kernel crashes, operating system reboots, system- or service-level failures – some of these aftermaths are critical and some just unpleasant, but all of them can hurt your business and service-level agreements. KernelCare has a strict testing process every patch must go through before it’s deployed to production, and this article details how we ensure customer infrastructure reliability and uptime after patch deployments.
