📄 Description

Centos 7 has hit EOL. The next best old glibc distro is rocky linux 8 which is already used for some of our base images. This switches the centos 7 base images over to rocky 8. This does mean our official binaries will no longer be compatible with distros that are older than glibc 2.28, however these are all EOL versions, so users can resort to building from source if they need obsolete distro support.

I'm not sure when we want to merge this, as it does narrow our support matrix for older distros.
