Language, server, database

In the update CentOS 8, you’ll encounter Python 3.6; you don’t have to worry cause it includes Python 2.7, too; with all of it being said, no version of Python is installed by default, so in this part, you might want to download it yourself.

Web Servers: Apache HTTP Server 2.4 and introduction of Nginx 1.14.
Squid has been updated to version 4.4, and a new proxy caching server is now included: Varnish Cache 6.0. Database servers distributed with CentOS/RHEL 8: MariaDB 10.3, MySQL 8.0, PostgreSQL 10, PostgreSQL 9.6, and Redis 5.

CentOS 7 used YUM v3.

You can use the yum command and its particular options in the same way as on CentOS 7. Another thing worth mentioning is that CentOS 8 is distributed with RPM 4.14, which is different from the previous RPM 4.11 with more enhancements added.’

CentOS 8 uses the Anaconda installer, which now supports the LUKS2 disk encryption format.

Anaconda has been extended to handle all features related to application streams. These include modules, streams, and profiles. Kickstart scripts can enable module and stream combinations, install module profiles, and install modular packages.
