[server-admins] Server Updates

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Hey guys.  Now that all the drama regarding CentOS and RHEL has mostly
subsided, I am moving forward with a few things:

I plan to migrate all of our CentOS systems to the equivalent RHEL
version using convert2rhel.

We have CentOS 8 on a couple machine and I'd like to get those over to
RHEL8 immediately so we have long term support.

I had a bit of trouble figuring out where in the world I could "buy" one
of the 16 free subscriptions I should get with my developer account.  I
spent a couple hours trying all sorts of things with very poor error
responses from RedHat at every corner (sorry Greg, but you could tell
your guys this really needs improvement).  I finally figured out that I
have start a download of the ISO to get a subscription added to my
account.  That's just silly-- even so, it should be explicitly stated
someplace that this is how to add an available subscription to your account.

I have begun experimenting with our CICD host (again, sorry Greg :) ). 
I believe I have it converted over from CentOS to RHEL using the
convert2rhel utility.  Please let me know if there are any issues.

Eventually, I would like to get all of our servers up to RHEL 8 and spin
down our legacy system which is only still running to supply the JSword
maven repository-- which I attempted to migrate but was entirely
unsuccessful.

Anyway, I really would appreciate any advice and assistance from our
experts here.

Thanks!!!

Troy
