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:

Looking for CI/CD practice for home
I've previously used Hashicorp Packer configs in a private git repo (based on the 'chef bento' configs used for many standard Vagrant boxes) that can build template server images for and then deploy a complete fully unattended CI pipeline from scratch, using nothing more than Apache Subversion (built into CentOS and RHEL but also has an excellent Windows version!) and Jenkins. Takes under 15 mins to provision both and can be tested locally (and completely offline!) in Virtualbox as it uses a limited amount of resources. I developed the solution for a rather risk averse client that required a cheap and easy reusable centrally managed CI pipeline that could handle larger sources than git by default and be built from artefacts on a private 'air-gapped and sheep-dipped' LAN with verified SHA256 hashes for all vendor binaries.
