Farewell CentOS, Hello Rocky Linux & Cloud-Native Supercomputing For Everyone
vmblog.com, January 2nd, 2023
Despite all the headlines I'm reading that scream "uncertainty," I don't feel any dread about the future, at least in the area that has captured my professional passion.
In fact, I am actually quite confident that 2023 will deliver some very positive advancements, and I'm looking forward to the year ahead. If you are interested in the world of enterprise-grade infrastructure or performance intensive computing, here are two predictions that are "money in the bank":
- In 2023, Rocky Linux-the free, open source Enterprise Linux operating system coupled with reliable and fine-tuned support models that drive down infrastructure costs-will be embraced as the replacement for CentOS that enterprises need for physical, cloud, virtual, and containers.
- In 2023, we'll see new tools that harness the power of containers, along with new ways to securely and easily automate software deployment, supply chain security, and lifecycle management at scale, transforming and modernizing performance intensive computing architectures for HPC/supercomputing and enterprise use-cases.
