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).
