What is the difference between AlmaLinux and CentOS?

AlmaLinux and CentOS images are free Linux distributions derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).  CentOS served as a free, community-supported alternative to RHEL for a long time, offering 1:1 binary compatibility. However, Red Hat shifted the focus of CentOS to CentOS Stream, a rolling-release distribution that serves as an upstream development platform for RHEL.

This change left a hosting support gap for users who preferred the stability and predictability of the original free CentOS. Alma Linux images emerged as a direct replacement, providing the same level of stability and compatibility with RHEL.

Essentially, the free AlmaLinux OS is a continuation of the CentOS legacy, offering a community-driven, stable, and free alternative to RHEL, while CentOS Stream now serves a different purpose in the RHEL ecosystem.

How do I switch from CentOS to AlmaLinux?

Migrating from CentOS to AlmaLinux is a seamless process, thanks to the almalinux-deploy script for images. This script automates the conversion, making it easy to switch to AlmaLinux without reinstalling your entire system. The script handles the necessary package updates, configuration changes, and system reboots, ensuring a smooth transition.

The AlmaLinux website provides detailed hosting support instructions on how to use the almalinux-deploy script. Additionally, OVHcloud provides comprehensive support resources, including documentation, cloud community forums, and customer support channels, to assist you throughout the migration process.
