Google discloses CentOS Linux kernel vulnerabilities citing failure to fix

This is one of the reasons we migrated away. It's pretty easy to go from 20.04 --> 22.04 without having to reinstall your OS.

I have taken long lived machines from 18.04 --> 20.04 --> 22.04. The idea that EL charges money with no in-place upgrade path is madness.

I basically learned to decouple the services from the OS it's running on (back before containers and all were a thing) so I focused on making it easy to spin up a new machine and restore a service. Over time, this made OS upgrades immaterial and made it easy to spin up an additional instance.

This led to containerization and virtual machines being a good fit for my habits.
