Is there any ETA for RedHat 8 and CentOS 8?

If not, we know the year when they will be released?

Thanks

It looks like RHEL 8 is still in initial development, and there's no published alpha version just yet. There likely won't be a release date set until later on in the development process.

The best source of information is going to be from the developers themselves. The RHEL community page is here:

https://access.redhat.com/discussions

And the CentOS forums are here:

RHEL 8 beta was announced a few days ago:

Documentation is here:

Based on past timelines, I'd guess we'll see CentOS 8 alongside the GA release next summer.

You can get RHEL 8 up and running yourself 1. You can use a Free Developer Subscription if need be.

Great news! CentOS 8 was released yesterday and we now have an image available for deployment. This means you can spin up a fresh CentOS 8 Linode today!

For reference, here's a list of all our distributions.
