If People Ask About the rocky-stats Website and a Fluctuation in Numbers

Brian, These are insightful and super useful… Thanks! Is it possible to share what “weird” looks like (the un-updated version) as well? Of course it would all just be viewed here for confidentiality.

the ones that are already whacky are: EL Instances by Age and Distribution shows Alma as being the distro of choice of new installs EL 10 Instances by Distribution shows CentOS Stream as dominant (next week it will show Alma as Dominant) Potentially Ephemeral shows Alma as dominant and Rocky decreasing Just a side effect of Alma releasing earlier, ALBS reporting every build they do as a new instance to EPEL stats, and enthusiasm from people wanting to test 10

They should get back to normal in about 3-4 weeks. That said, “normal” for our users means very slow adoption for new major versions, so I wouldn’t expect anything fast. Most Rocky users are still on 8.
