End-User IT Services & Operating Systems Birds of a Feather (BoF) session: Linux Discussion

Speaker

Christopher Henry Hollowell (Brookhaven National Laboratory (US))

Description

In December 2020, Red Hat and CentOS announced the early end-of-life of CentOS 8 (scheduled for December 2021), and its replacement with CentOS Stream 8. Unlike CentOS, which is a clone of RHEL, CentOS Stream is a forward-distribution of RHEL, containing package updates before they are released, or possibly ever included in RHEL. In this talk, we discuss the history and current status of Linux use at BNL's Scientific Data and Computer Center (SDCC), as well our future plans for this operating system.
