Why Red Hat dumped CentOS for CentOS Stream

General News

Summary

Note to self: If a big vendor such as Oracle, IBM, MS, and others buys your fav software, start the migration procedure ASAP." Chris Wright, Red Hats CTO, said when CentOS Stream was introduced, "developers … require earlier access to code [in September 2019], improved and more transparent collaboration with the broader partner community, and the ability to influence the direction of new RHEL versions. Another official part of it is, as Wright said, is that CentOS Stream as a "rolling preview" of whats next in RHEL, both in terms of kernels and features can be used in todays containerized, cloud-native IT world. Yes, CentOS Stream isnt a stable point server Linux distro that you can run for years, but it is what cloud-centric companies need to deploy "containerized applications and cloud-native services to rapid hardware innovations and ecosystems shifting to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Morrell continued, "However @CentOSProject has been the benevolent gift that kept giving and those complaining now never came forward with bricks cement or glazing to extend that proposition."
