Hi Abdalla,
during Icalepcs 2021 there was a workshop about Linux Distribution and
Ecosystem Evolution in Control Systems and an interesting study about
CentOS 8 EoL presented by Ben Morrice.
I'll share the workshop link so you can find the presentation:

Hello
Well this is not directly about EPICS but it does affect control and
IT infrastructure in general. As you know, CentOS 8 will reach
end-of-life by the end of 2021 and CentOS 7 in 2024 following the
decision that CentOS will become a rolling-release instead of a
stable, RHEL downstream release. We are now investigating the possible
alternatives on what to have instead of CentOS, whether purchasing a
RedHat license (very much expensive), going with a RHEL-compatible
CentOS alternative (Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux, Alma Linux) or
continuing with CentOS stream and work on periodic update policy.
I know that Rocky Linux released its first stable release on June, but
the project is still new and it is still unclear how much further it
will become a CentOS replacement. I would like to have feedback from
the community what they are using now and if they are using RedHat or
CentOS, what are their plans for the future.
Best Regards,
Abdalla.
