Cent OS 8 Part B

Security

In the previous article, we talked about the visual changes and new features in CentOS 8 update; as you all know, one of the critical features of the Linux OS and all of its distros are the trusted security patches and how the developers care about the update patches whenever a security hole shows up. Regarding security, Linux OS is a game-changer in this field; tighter security features have been added to the brand-new release.

For example:

Cockpit

The cockpit is now part of Red Hat Enterprise Linux default repositories. From this update, you will get your web console automatically installed in the GUI version of CentOS 8. No more hassle because firewall ports required by the console are automatically open.

Supported CPU Architectures include:

Infrastructure services

In CentOS 7, CUPS logs were stored in specific files within the /var/log/cups directory. This is now changed because all types of CUPS logs are centrally-logged in the system journal daemon together with records from other programs. You now use journalctl -u cups to access them.

BIND features

Aside from all of the lousy talking about the new update of the CentOS, in the feedback that we received from our customers, we got to know almost all the users are very happy with the latest tools. It is easier now for beginners or users who are not entirely familiar with the command line in the Linux OS and the terminal interface.

Virtualization

Despite all of our talk in this article, nothing is good enough if the system that we used to for many years changed to an entirely different OS, but if you want to know for sure that this new update is good enough, it’s no harm to take try on it.
