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:
