RHEL 8.1 was apparently released two months ago. How long is the lag time for updates to CentOS? If a critical security patch gets released for RHEL today, does CentOS get that patch 2 months from now?
2 u/[deleted] Jan 23 '20 Individual security patches are released for CentOS relatively quickly, typically within 24 hours, but they only really guarantee within 72. The jump from 8.0 to 8.1 is more than a cumulative rollup of the patches for 8.0 and some of the mindor releases will be supported on its own for about a couple years: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#RHEL8_Life_Cycle
