Since CentOS was discontinued at the end of 2021, its final release was version 8.5 (2021-11-16). In contrast, its RHEL counterpart continued to version 8.10 (as of 2024-09).
CentOS Stream 9 was released on 3 December 2021, [9] with support of IBM Z architecture. In 2023, Red Hat announced that CentOS 7 and CentOS Stream 8 will be discontinued in 2024 in order to focus on Red Hat Enterprise Linux development.

In April 2019, it was announced that feature development for Scientific Linux would be discontinued, but that maintenance will continue to be provided for the 6.x and 7.x releases through the end of their life cycles. Fermilab and CERN will utilize CentOS Stream [4] and AlmaLinux [5] for their deployment of 8.x release instead.
With the discontinuation of Scientific Linux (announced in 2019, with support only for SL6 and SL7 until end of life), CERN now uses Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and AlmaLinux, [160] as well as CentOS 7 (until 30 June 2024); [161] whereas Fermilab uses RHEL and AlmaLinux, as well as Scientific Linux (until end of life in June 2024).

On December 8, 2020, Red Hat announced that development of CentOS, a free-of-cost downstream fork of the commercial Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), would be discontinued and its official support would be cut short to focus on CentOS Stream, a stable LTS release without minor releases officially used by Red Hat to preview what is intended for inclusion in updates to RHEL.
LTS applies the tenets of reliability engineering to the software development process and software release life cycle.Long-term support extends the period of software maintenance; it also alters the type and frequency of software updates to reduce the risk, expense, and disruption of software deployment, while promoting the dependability of the software.
