Once we heard CentOS was being retired, we started migrating to Rocky Linux (https://rockylinux.org/) for all Linux servers whose applications/vendors would support it. We have not tried moving the ISP servers to Rocky Linux since our management will not run enterprise applications on an unsupported OS. There is also the question of kernel level support for things like lin_tape drivers.
Rocky Linux is an open-source enterprise operating system designed to be 100% bug-for-bug compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux®. It is under intensive development by the community.
