Ben Morrice (CERN)

Description

CERN has historically used RedHat derived Linux distribtions; favored for their relative stability and long life cycle. In December 2020, the CentOS board announced that the end-of-life for CentOS Linux 8 would be changed from a 10 year life cycle to 2 years.
This talk focuses on what CERN will be doing in the short-term to adapt to this announcement, and what the Linux future could look like after the end-of-life of CentOS Linux 8.
