CentOS Stream 8 Long-Term Patching
Posted by i_likebeefjerky@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 5 comments
Has anyone found a company that provides extended security patching/support for CentOS Stream 8 specifically?
We have a handful of systems that simply cannot be migrated for the next few months. I’ve found providers like OpenLogic that offer extended support for CentOS 8, but they do not support CentOS Stream 8.
Looking for:
- Security patches/CVE remediation
- Commercial support options
- Real-world experiences if anyone has used a provider for Stream 8
Trying to bridge the gap until we can complete migrations to a newer platform.

TuxCare appears to do it:

Or go with oracle linux, this one is free and can be used without any support contract. Their migration script on github seems to support centos stream as well

Switch to Rocky. We did it (Everything just worked with their migration script)

Just expanding on this, migrating is fairly easy, and it's designed to continue 'centos', as it was, before redhat sunset the main centos product.
There is a company behind it, CIQ, so it's not all altruistic, and if you want the longer support, I think you have to pay them for it.

It's called Rocky Linux
