Open source enterprise software provider https://www.openshift.com/try?utm_content=inline-mention received a ton of derision last year when https://thenewstack.io/red-hat-deprecates-linux-centos-in-favor-of-a-streaming-edition/ its CentOS Linx distribution to a rolling release distribution. Earlier this month, Red Hat released version 9 of CentOS Stream, which happens to coincide with the CentOS 8 end of life (ergo, the end of CentOS as we know and love it). But never fear, Red Hat is here with CentOS 9 Stream. Effectively how the release cycle works is this: New features will be tested on Fedora, then released in parallel on both CentOS Stream and, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), which is the company’s flagship enterprise-ready Linux distribution. In Red Hat’s words: CentOS Stream is a continuous-delivery distribution serving as the next point-release of RHEL.
