Hello,
Even if centos stream 8 is pretty stable for production usage his eol date is until 2024 (same as centos 7). In the following 2 years i will have to migrate my centos 7 servers to something newer. I can choose a distro with the same eol date. I need a distro which much more long eol date.
Finally i choose to trust the oracle developers who maintain the oracle linux (based on rhel source packages). In the future i will also try the almalinux distro (maintained by cloudlinux).

Sure .. but just like you are using EL8 right now .. EL9 will be released before the 8-Stream EOL. Again .. Have no issues using whatever, but there will be plenty of time to get Stream 9 up and going for most loads before Stream 8 EOL.
Yes, some items, if you really need 10 years, would require Alma or Rocky or Oracle if you don't want to pay for RHEL.

Hello,
Check https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product to find the EOL dates for each version of Centos.
To my opinion the only centos version that is anymore appropriate for production usage is version 7. Centos 8 is production ready but the eol date is only a few months away.
I choosed to migrate my centos 8 machines to oracle linux 8 for production usage, but many more distros have appeared (almalinux, rockylinux, springdale linux, etc). All of them follow the EOL dates for RHEL 8.x ( May 2029) and are build from the sources packaes of RHEL.
You are entitled to your opinion :D // but, IMHO ..
If you are not doing anything special with the kernel, then there is very little difference between CentOS Stream and CentOS Linux.
I would surely rather trust the 1500 RHEL developers who are maintaining CentOS Stream than anyone else .. but that is just my opinion.

Hi,
I am confused between CentOS Linux and CentOS Stream as per https://www.centos.org/download/. Please guide me on which one I need to use in the production environment. Is there a difference between CentOS Linux and CentOS Stream?
Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you.
