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.

Software

The YUM package manager is now based on the DNF technology, and it provides support for modular content, increased performance, and a well-designed stable API for integration with tooling; installing software is now ensured by the new version of the YUM tool, which is based on the DNF technology (YUM v4). 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.’

The most notable changes include the following:

CentOS 8 uses the Anaconda installer, which now supports the LUKS2 disk encryption format. LUKS2 offers better features; for instance, it extends the capabilities of the on-disk format and provides flexible ways of storing metadata. 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.
