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.


Regard,
Antonis Kopsaftis
