Design an image capturing a transition from one operating system to another. The background should start with a deep red gradient on the left, transitioning to dark blue on the right. On the left, place a logo representing an antiquated operating system, slightly faded to symbolize its status. An arrow or curved pathway should link this logo to a brighter, more vibrant logo on the right, representing a modern operating system. Subtle gear icons and code snippets should dimish in size as they move along this pathway. The center of the image should have an open-source symbol, subtly positioned against the background gradient. On the right side of the image, integrate cloud or server symbols close to the modern operating system logo.

RIP CentOS… Now what?

Presented By: David Gilpin

On 12/31/2021 IBM/Red Hat end-of-lifed CentOS 8. CentOS has historically been a downstream rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. CentOS Stream 8 is designated an upstream (development) branch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux - a continual Beta release.

Oracle Linux has been a tracking release of RHEL since 2006. This presentation will review the Oracle Linux operating environment and how it is a great CentOS alternative. We will also cover Oracle’s involvement and commitment to Open Source software.
