This post zeroes in on the imperative of monitoring precisely what matters, and from the right vantage points.

CentOS EOL - Are you affected? CentOS used to be community driven. Imagine an OS being tested by a global community of volunteers against a testing team in a company—that gave CentOS unmatched stability. An OS that came with Securuty-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) by default and also included 10-year support meant it was the favorite of both individual developers and enterprises as well (even Facebook, now known as Meta, used CentOS for its data centers).
