What I did on CentOS 7 was “yum install centos-release-scl” followed by “yum install devtoolset-8” in order to get gcc 8.3 and friends. I’m at work, and I cannot remember whether or not installing the centos-release-scl actually succeeded, but the install devtoolset-8 definitely fails, saying that it cannot be found.
GCC 8 is the system compiler in EL8, so there's no devtoolset-8 for CentOS 8 (or RHEL 8, for that matter). There should be a devtoolset-9 soon for EL8.
