AlmaLinux 8.8 - Now Available
Running another 8.x? Move to AlmaLinux using almalinux-deploy.

Question about Alma Linux
I mention that because you had to be at CentOS 8 latest, and since CentOS is now a stinkin pile of nothingness, there are adjustments path wise to point at Alma's capture of that in order to prep to make the jump. I think all that is documented here: https://github.com/AlmaLinux/almalinux-deploy

Best Solution - Self Hosted - Migrating from Hostgator
You can also convert an Oracle Cloud to Alma or Rocky then install ApisCP. If you do, append -s has_low_memory=1 to the installer.

Finding the proper webpanel
If going with Oracle Linux it's necessary to convert to Alma or Rocky before installing the 30-day trial. This also doubles as a great hack for a free 1 GB DNS-only server.

Problems migrating from CentOS 8.2 to AlmaLinux
I understand from here that it is recommended to update to CentOS 8.5. I have carefully inspected the recommended approaches from the README and this issue and attempted to cobble together something that I believe should work but I am facing some issues.

CentOS 8 is dead :( Any recommendations for a free/Azure friendly alternative?
I used the Almalinux deploy script to switch to Alma.

CentOS 8 EOL - any successful business customers migrated so far ?
A version of our Open Source hosting control panel (BlueOnyx 5210R) was initially shipped with CentOS 8 as base OS before we switched the installation media to AlmaLinux. Those that were still running CentOS 8 were informed via the GUI to convert to AlmaLinux by running the AlmaLinux conversion script that we had bundled with an update or ours.

We're the AlmaLinux OS Foundation Team. AMA!
Thanks for the questions. We already have several migration options. If you're currently on CentOS 8 or any other EL8 you can use this: https://github.com/AlmaLinux/almalinux-deploy. If you are on CentOS 7.x you can use our ELevate project: https://almalinux.org/elevate.

Next year, IBM's Red Hat plans to cut back on hiring senior engineers in an effort aimed largely at controlling costs.
Oracle has a conversion script/tool to switch a CentOS machine to Oracle Linux. In the FAQ they're at least self-aware of their reputation:
-
Linux server flavors?
turn CentOS 8 into Oracle Linux 8: https://github.com/oracle/centos2ol
-
Rocky Linux release attracts 80,000 downloads as ex-CentOS users mull choices
But reading the docs and the claims that the site has https://linux.oracle.com/switch/centos/ it's a real option for mission-critical/production systems.

If Redhat used by the datacenter. Why do we learn another distro?
Actually Oracle Linux already fills that gap as a RHEL clone. Don't kill me, I know Oracle Linux is literally the only free product at that company. It even says so on their website:
