Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Lenz Grimmer; As you are probably aware, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL 6 or EL 6 in short) officially reached “End of Life” (EOL) on 2020-11-30 and is now in the so-called Extended Life Phase, which basically means that Red Hat will no longer provide bug fixes or security fixes. Even though EL 6 and its compatible derivatives like CentOS 6 had reached EOL some time ago already, we continued providing binary builds for selected MySQL-related products for this platform. However, this became increasingly difficult, as the MySQL code base continued to evolve and now ... Read More

Feed: Puppet.com Blog RSS Feed. Author: ; CentOS 8 is end-of-life (EOL): Now what? There were many reasons people came to use CentOS as an alternative Linux platform to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). CentOS was originally built as a downstream release of RHEL, which was free to use without support. CentOS became the de facto standard for many organizations that did not want to use RHEL for production workload, since it’s basically the same thing, just rebranded. While CentOS was originally a community project, over time Red Hat began contributing substantially and eventually took over maintenance of the linux ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. Amazon EC2 now supports Hibernation for On-Demand Nitro-based instances running Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) version 8, CentOS version 8, and Fedora version 34 onwards. Hibernation allows you to pause your EC2 Instances and resume them at a later time, rather than fully terminating and restarting them. Resuming your instance lets your applications continue from where they left off so that you don’t have to restart your OS and application from scratch. Hibernation is useful for cases where rebuilding application state is time-consuming (e.g., developer desktops) or an application’s start-up steps can be prepared in advance of ... Read More

Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. In December 2020, you might have seen an article from CentOS about shifting their focus towards CentOS stream, which is the upstream version of the RHEL. CentOS also mentioned that the version 8 would be EOL (end of life) by the end of the 2021. This means that it will no longer receive any updated fixes from it's upstream version of RHEL. A few days after this announcement, Rocky Linux was announced by the CentOS founder, Gregory Kurtzeras, as a 100% bug-for-bug compatible with RHEL. The Rocky Linux project quickly gained so much of attention, and also ... Read More

Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. A reliable backup tool with an ability to perform a point in time recovery (PITR) is a usual enterprise need. Postgres includes a backup tool called pg_basebackup for full backups. It is great for a database of a few hundreds of GBs in size but currently lacks the support for parallel, incremental and differential backups. This makes it slightly challenging for bigger postgres databases that are Terrabytes in size. pgBackRest is our savior in such a case. While migrating from Oracle to Postgres, users find pgBackRest as an Oracle RMAN equivalent for PostgreSQL with some more additional ... Read More

In recent years, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (rhel) became the default enterprise server operating system, with centos filling the need for installations on smaller platforms and in the cloud. (Centos was sometimes the only operating system used.) With the move of centos away from being a stable releases ... Read More
