AlmaLinux as a CentOS alternative
If you are familiar with CentOS or maintain software designed around the RHEL ecosystem, AlmaLinux provides a familiar enterprise Linux environment without requiring a commercial RHEL subscription.
This can make AlmaLinux a useful choice when deploying new servers, replacing older CentOS systems or moving workloads to a modern UK VPS environment.
For production migrations, compatibility should still be checked against the specific applications, repositories, control panels and third-party software used by your workload.
