Hey There!
CentOS 8
The CentOS 8 project has been transformed into CentOS Stream, CentOS stream sits between Fedora and RHEL. Compared to earlier where CentOS releases would come after RHEL releases making CentOS tried and tested and super stable.
While in our testing CentOS Stream has been stable enough and there are advantages as well such as newer packages may make their way into CentOS quicker now compared to past releases, the long-term stability remains unknown due to the way the CentOS Stream releases are now placed before RHEL.
AlmaLinux 8
AlmaLinux was initially developed by CloudLinux and now further developed by the AlmaLinux OS Foundation, it is an open-source operating system that is 1:1 binary compatible with RHEL and is supported by the community.
Since AlmaLinux is open-source it is completely free without any usage restrictions. It was developed to handle enterprise-grade workloads, and hence comes recommended for server environments and for handling critical workloads.
We’ve created a 1-click install template for AlmaLinux, available for both OpenVZ and KVM-based VPSes. Click here to check the blog post for more information.
