Hello everybody
After Red Hat announced they will no longer be providing the means for downstream clones to continue to be 1:1 binary copies of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), will Centreon still accept AlmaLinux for future relase ?
I have now 1 Central and 9 pollers running Centreon 21.04.20 on Centos 7.
I plan to migrate everything to Centreon 23.04 on AlmaLinux 9
Shall I wait a little bit or can I start migration ?
Thank you for your answer

Hi !
We are asking ourselves the exact same question. We currently have around 25 pollers that we planned to migrate and a few dozens planned to be deployed, but we would like to be sure centreon is planning to keep the support for Alma before proceeding.
I believe many people/organisations would be interested in the answer.
Thank you,

Hi
As you know, Centreon provides packages for EL8/9 operating system (RHEL and RHEL like) and Debian 11.
On July 13, AlmaLinux announces that they can no longer be 100% binary copies of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), but that they will be "Application Binary Interface (ABI) compatible".
Moreover, "AlmaLinux will continue to receive timely security updates.".
So, for Centreon, there is no change. We will continue to deliver packages for EL8/9 and Debian 11 operating system in the future.
You can migrate your CentOS 7 pollers to either Debian 11 or AlmaLinux 8/9.
Regards,
Merci Laurent for your answer
