CentOS 8.x CentOS 8 Now End Of Life (EOL)

Same goes for Rocky Linux. If anyone wants Enterprise paid support. You can get it.
CIQ is the company of Gregory Kurtzer. Same person founded Rocky Linux and CentOS back in the days.

 

Why should you purchase "official" support from a company that forked/cloned software?
Then you could also look into Red Hat support and services from the source itself.

Problem is that if you want services certified. For example for mission critical services.
Really everything has to be certified, including the hardware.

To my knowledge, forks are not certified. Binary compatible does not exist in insurance land.
You can get Enterprise Linux (EL) certified hardware only with Red Hat and/or Oracle certified. To my knowledge. But I did not investigate that further because it is not relevant to me.

Based on that fact, Oracle Linux is the only fork and EL binary compatible that is fully certifiable.

Why run Red Hat's Cockpit on Ubuntu?
Are there any special reasons why you are running Ubuntu?

 

To my knowledge. Cockpit is a browser-based administration tool for Linux.
Are we talking about the same Cockpit here?

CentOS 7 and EL7 are ARM64 compatible.
Do you mean that CMM is only for X64? Because that is right.
Or are you using ARM32.

 

So you use cockpit not for management but for statistics? Interesting and nice to see.
About your matrix rx server.

You are using Ubuntu with your already known stack based on CMM?
In other words you copied the CMM configuration files (Nginx, PHP, Mysql) to your Ubuntu server?

 

What about performances: h5bp/server-configs-nginx v.s. centminmod - Overview ?

Btw https://deb.sury.org/ is non LTS. Upstream release, directly from the the source.

 

Thanks for the upcoming benchmark.

Question. Why did you choose a relatively weak Ampere Altra Q80-30 based server?
Based on the responses below. Per core, the processor is comparable to an entry-level, consumer x64 CPU, of 2019.

 

You are (seems to be) shuffling data. First you state that it is "quicker" with CMM "by roughly 5-8%", and thus the old server (the new server is not compatible with CMM). Then you come up with contradictory data and "a significant drop in pageload". Which is true? Finally, the benchmarks per core of the Ampere Altra Q80-30 CPU is not my benchmark nor research. See hyperlink for more info.

 

Could be. Several users (see above) reports a relatively weak core. Perhaps that is why there are 80 cores in the Ampere Altra Q80-30 CPU. Then on that front, you can easily compensate.

So that was not written there. That's probably why I was confused. Please fully describe the subject next time. That avoids possible confusion. Thanks buddy.
Now let's get back on topic. CentOS, EOL and the legacy.
