[atlas] Future of Software Anchors

Hi everybody!

 

I have been running a Software probe on CentOS 8 since mid 2020. (and since switched it to Rocky Linux 8)

It’s unsupported, but also didn’t really make any problems, just worked fine with the yum repo distributed package!

 

Great that there are already plans to support newer versions as well!

 

And has there something changed in the distribution of the package?

Because the latest changes of version 5070 don’t look like they appeared in the GitHub repo?

 

Best regards,

Lukas

For now, we are still deploying Atlas anchors with CentOS 7. However, in 
the latter half of this year, we plan to work on adapting our 
configuration systems to a newer Linux distribution. After that, we will 
upgrade all the Atlas anchors (hardware and virtual) to the newer 
distribution.

Hi everyone,
 
accoring to this site, a CentOS 7 installation is required for running a Software Anchor:
https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/anchor-installation-vm/
But CentOS 7 will be End-of-Lifetime in two years (30. Juni 2024).
https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product
 
So it does not really make sense, to set up a new Anchor with CentOS 7, i guess. What are the plans, dear RIPE Labs?
I searched the atlas mailinglist topics for "software anchor" and "centos 7" but didn't find anything.
 
Greetings,
Simon
