CentOS Linux Is Being Retired, How Will My Job Change With Red Hat Enterprise Linux?
Red Hat News, Thursday, July 27,2023
One of the main questions I get asked about the retirement of CentOS Linux is, "How will this affect my day-to-day operations as a Systems Administrator?" My initial response is, "Thankfully, not much!"
The real question being asked, I think, is whether an admin needs to learn any new commands or procedures. If you're moving from CentOS Linux over to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), then the vast majority of your commands won't change, and the tools and services you get in return make the move well worth the effort.
I want to cover a few things that are changing, and provide you with additional resources, and I also mention some important things you gain by moving to RHEL!
