what is the best practice for the new install CentOS 8.4 or stream?
Hi, I am looking for some advice on new oVirt: CentOS 8.4 or directly CentOS stream? If i start with the CentOS 8.4, will be possible later to migrate to stream branch with the production oVirt?? thank you before hand, Arman
If you plan on using CentOS going forward, I would recommend using (starting with) stream, as CentOS 8 will be completely EOL at the end of this year. That said, you can easily convert a CentOS 8 server to CentOS Stream by running these commands: dnf swap centos-linux-repos centos-stream-repos dnf distro-sync See https://www.centos.org/centos-stream/ Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Saturday, June 5, 2021 6:24 AM, Arman Khalatyan <arm2arm@gmail.com> wrote:

thank you David, installing 8.4 doesn't make things easier, will give a try stream 8. just saw that stream 8 is eol 2024, but didn't find the roadmap on upgrades 8->9, if we get over 60vms on oVirt will be really hard to migrate in 3 years.

If you use CentOS 8.4, you will be able to switch to stream but also you have the possibility to switch to any other EL8 clone at the end of the year.Drawback with non-Stream is that oVirt is tested against Stream and some features won't be available immediately (as Stream packages are a little bit ahead).

thank you Strahil, good point on compatibility, definitely will stay on stream. Feeling a little bit nervous like the first time started my journey with oVirt 3.x several years ago 🤭 Strahil Nikolov <hunter86_bg@yahoo.com> schrieb am Sa., 5. Juni 2021, 15:22:
