Bonjour tous, Je viens de lire sur la toile par un site qui propose des VPS : > **Rocky Linux** > Rocky Linux est l’une des distributions communautaires créées pour remplacer CentOS. Développée par une équipe menée par **Gregory KURTZER** (fondateur de CentOS), cet OS est désormais stable et utilisable en production. > > C’est l’une des alternatives les plus crédibles pour les utilisateurs de CentOS 8. **En effet, au même titre qu’[Alma Linux](https://mautic.ikoula.com/r/27d30e8a4fa41314c8c17ad5c?ct=YTo1OntzOjY6InNvdXJjZSI7YToyOntpOjA7czo1OiJlbWFpbCI7aToxO2k6MjA2O31zOjU6ImVtYWlsIjtpOjIwNjtzOjQ6InN0YXQiO3M6MjI6IjYxMWUyYjQ5ODZjYTA5NDk1NzI0MDkiO3M6NDoibGVhZCI7czo2OiI2MjI5MjYiO3M6NzoiY2hhbm5lbCI7YToxOntzOjU6ImVtYWlsIjtpOjIwNjt9fQ%3D%3D&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=mail&utm_campaign=Debian11RockyLinux) (déjà déployable sur nos VPS), il est basé sur RHEL (Red Hat Entreprise Linux) et présente donc tous les avantages de la nouvelle distribution développée par Red Hat**. Bien que le projet soit encore jeune, l’équipe de développement est principalement composée de développeurs anciennement impliqués dans CentOS, cela apporte des garanties supplémentaires quant à la fiabilité de la version de production. Enfin, le fondateur de CentOS 8, à l’origine de Rocky Linux **promet un support sur le long terme**. **Cet OS est désormais stable et utilisable en production !** Il faut en penser quoi ? ---

Rocky, Alma, CentOS Linux … all are as bug for bug compatible with RHEL as possible. RHEL is stable. ---

RE C’est Rocky qui m’interesse. Sais-t-on pour combien de temps il est stable … 5 ans ? 8 ans ? ---

Hi, Rocky tracks RHEL eol, and so, 8.0 was released in 2019, and 8.10 will be until 2029. So 10 years. Rocky will be going from 8.4 until 8.10 so also until 2029 - 8 years from now. ---

RHEL 8 will have maintenance support up to May 2029. That is, RHEL 8 sources should be publicly available up to that (unless Red Hat changes their policies). Rocky (and Alma) naturally aim to build available sources as long as possible. ---
