Before a package is formally introduced to CentOS Stream, it undergoes a battery of tests and checks–both automated and manual–to ensure it meets the stringent standards for packages to be included in RHEL.
Earlier this month, Red Hat released version 9 of CentOS Stream, which happens to coincide with the CentOS 8 end of life (ergo, the end of CentOS as we know and love it).īut never fear, Red Hat is here with CentOS 9 Stream.Įffectively how the release cycle works is this: New features will be tested on Fedora, then released in parallel on both CentOS Stream and, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), which is the company’s flagship enterprise-ready Linux distribution.ĬentOS Stream is a continuous-delivery distribution serving as the next point-release of RHEL.
After that happened, users everywhere complained, companies (such as cPanel) pulled support, and a number of new 1:1 binary compatible replacements (such as AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux) were born.Īnd yet, CentOS Stream continues moving forward. Open source enterprise software provider Red Hat received a ton of derision last year when it shifted its CentOS Linx distribution to a rolling release distribution.
