CentOS 7 will move to EOL (end-of-life) status on June 30, 2024. Here’s what you need to know about our in-place operating system upgrade from CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8.
What is Kali Linux?
Kali Linux is an open-source Debian-derived Linux distribution maintained by Offensive Security. Devon Kearns and Mati Aharoni developed it. It was created explicitly for network analysts, penetration testers, or anyone in the cybersecurity field with a requirement for a very detailed scope of effort — including forensics analysis.
What is AlmaLinux?
What is AlmaLinux? It is an open source 1:1 binary compatible fork of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). The AlmaLinux foundation was founded by CloudLinux, which invested $1 million. They wanted to provide a long-term stable operating system (OS) version. AlmaLinux was first released in March of 2021 and has recently released another stable version, AlmaLinux 8.5.
CentOS 8 to CentOS Stream
CentOS Options
With the recent announcement by CentOS 8 regarding the switch from CentOS 8 to CentOS Stream, this commonly used Linux distribution is being relegated to a mid-stage development version of RHEL. In essence, CentOS 8 becomes an early rolling-release distro for RHEL. As CentOS moves from being a follow-up distribution to the stable version of RedHat, to be, in effect, a prerelease version of RHEL, many users are looking for alternatives to replace their current operating systems with a long-term stable platform apart from RHEL and IBM who owns RedHat.
