AlmaLinux 8 or 9?

I am wanting to migrate some existing AlmaLinux8 based CWP servers to new OS installs - due to recent security issues and possible compromises.

As there seem to have been a number of #9 issues, I wanted to ask the subject question before moving.

Shall I stick with #8 or is it reasonably painless to move to version 9?

Even then, is it safe to continue with CWP Nginx now or should I set it to the AlmaLinux repository again?

Thanks.

I am firmly in the AlmaLinux 8 camp still -- and will be as long as it is supported with security updates (05/29). https://endoflife.date/almalinux
I tend toward the conservative side of the software curve, though -- far behind the bleeding edge. I probably will skip AL9 altogether and when the time comes, migrate to AL10.

I use the mainline Nginx (AlmaLinux repositories).

thanks @overseer - that was my thinking too.  While I've cleaned up the compromises on a couple of machines, they can't be fully trusted, so time to rebuild.

We run AlmaLinux 9, who's active support ends on May 31, 2027, with security support ending on May 31, 2032.

AlmaLinux 8 active support ended on May 31, 2024 with version 8.10.
Security support ends on May 31, 2029.
