technicaly SL is shutting down but in reality they are just merging with 
centos effort wise.
this is not a bad thing as there was duplication of effort being that the 
outcome was so similar.

so in effect the rhel based platform just got more focused.

Well, of course, because they still run it on hardware servers with CPUs,

Perhaps you've never seen the Software Collections repositories?
https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/SCL

For what its worth, RHEL8 (and subsequently, CentOS8) will have
Application Streams, which will be somewhat like SCLs, except they'll
be more core to the OS.  That'll let you update software like python,
perl, apache httpd, etc. without interferring with the OS.

I've been running ZoL on CentOS for years. Wonderful stuff. SysAdmin's dream, 
although we keep all ZoL boxes off any public access and update on a carefully

I have a "UNIX workstation" on my workbench. It is a Raspberry Pi (an older
Model 2B). It is (at this time) my main circuit board CAD box. Also my main
build box for: ARM (embeded) Linux (Raspberry Pi and Beagle Boards) and things
like ESP32, ARM, and AVR microcontrollers (eg Arduino IDE). And I access it
remotely with my laptop, running CentOS.

I don't think the fundamental raison d'être for a UNIX workstation or

are also specialized grids for scalable application or HPC operations.

I think that's a very narrow view of what Red Hat does.  They're not 
just writing rpm spec files and building somone else's code.


Red Hat is the largest contributor to most of the core GNU/Linux 
software stack.  If you use GNU/Linux, then you're using Red Hat's work.

Btw, right now, we've just built a new server as Ubuntu, because my

Bad assumption, in this case. My manager is also a sr. sysadmin. He pushed
CentOS a long time ago - we were running 5 when I got here, almost 10
years ago. But the folks we support keep wanting to run software that uses
much newer PHP, and Python, and stuff from newer kernels.

For example, allegedly (don't know for sure), some version of Ubuntu
supports CUDA out of the box, as opposed to the mess I have to go through
getting it and updating it from NVidia.

Another point is that Ubuntu is not just a Fedora alternative, they have a 
long-term support option known as LTS - all the even numbered releases: 14.04 
(at EOL), 16.04, 18.04 (latest).  I have heard that for 18.04 forward, they are 
going to a 10-year support model.  For a Fedora alternative the odd-numbered 
releases should be used.

I'm not really sure that the reasons for Rhel really exist anymore. The oft
quoted Library stabilty is more of a hindrance than a help in modern
development environments with well operating CI.

When the dinosaur IBM bought RH it was clear that it had become a fossil.

Of course there is still legacy applications that need that but I see a

Maybe you should try to explain to your manager why RHEL/CentOS exist and
why it's widely used in the corporate world. If he talks about Ubuntu then
you could explain to him what Fedora is any why and how it differs from
RHEL/CentOS.

Of course, managers do not always listen to those who do the real work.

I'm wondering what desktops you run then, are they also running on
Kubernetes? I know some prefer Windows or Mac OS, but others really like
Linux to work with. How would that work if no Linux distributions exist
anymore?

Apart from that, there are people in this world who like to stay as far
away from G**gle as possible. And there are some who do it with good
reason and the same applies to A**zon, A**le, M$$rosoft you name them.
They will never ask if distributions became redundant.

I'm afraid too many clouds make the wider horizon invisible :-)

Nope. Well... actually, my manager's talking about Ubuntu or maybe even
FreeBSD. He's *extremely* upset with RH being so slow - 8 should have been
out for some time, for one, and a lot of 7, even with SCL, is far behind,

But most of our Office's work is done in-house. Lots of CentOS and RH,
lesser amounts, AFAIK, of ubuntu.

Cloud? Why would I want to go back to time-sharing on a mainframe?*

  Some of us build the infrastructure others use, which is what
Google does. That includes having baremetal servers people can access
(reserve, tell it which OS to install) to develop code for PCI devices
which will later be used by the Google and Amazons which will then
abstract them to their users.

If you are working at the kubernetes level, you could not care less
about whether a given NIC works or is giving the maximum performance;
you do not even care about which NIC is being used.

It is all about what you do.

If its old coreOS then it is a rebuild of Gentoo. If it is newer coreOS it
is a repackaged Fedora/RHEL. At some point it may be a repackaged CentOS..
but it isn't at a level you deal with. You have moved up the stack.. other
people are dealing with the lower levels of plumbing and you are able to
deal with higher level operations.

I don't know. We use fully managed services from Google. I think its coreOS.

On top of that, I often use centos as my base image for Dockerfiles,
using the Centos docker repository.  While I also use alpine sometimes
if I want it really tiny, it is really nice to be able to just rebuild
the image against updates and not have to worry as much about
underlying API changes breaking my app.

What OS are your k8s clusters running on?  How about your cloud
providers?  Mine are on RHEL and CentOS.
