I am looking to install snappy on a RedHat UBI 8 base image but it doesn't appear to be in any of the repos. I have resorted to pulling the RPM from http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/snappy-1.1.8-3.el8.x86_64.rpm, but it ties me to a specific version and architecture. Is there a better way to install snappy on UBI?

I am going through the documentation confluent kafka distributions and come across the following distribution types . What are the fundamental differences between each
Download Community Features
Download free
Download Enterprise Tarball
Download Community Tarball
Download Open Source Tarball
https://www.confluent.io/previous-versions
https://www.confluent.io/download
There are two distributions of Confluent Platform: Community, and Commercial (Enterprise). You can see a chart of the differences between the two here: https://www.confluent.io/download/#confluent-platform
Earlier versions of Confluent Platform were licensed differently, which is why you see reference to open source tarball instead of Community tarball in 5.1 and later when it was relicensed.
Tarball is one of the available distribution methods, along with zip, rpm, deb, Docker, and so on.
I have accidently deleted rpm binary by issuing incorrect command(rpm -e) on My RedHat Enterprise Linux Server 7. From where can i download the required binaries and copy it to the required place /usr/bin ?
Packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux can be downloaded only using yum and certificate which you get from subscription-manager. It is hard to do that manually.
What you can do easily is to get the package from CentOS (binary compatible distribution):
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/
download it on some other system where you have rpm binary and do:
rpm2cpio downloaded-rpm.rpm | cpio -idmv
take the extracted files and copy it to the broken machine.
And then you should do
yum reinstall rpm
which will download the package again from Red Hat CDN and reinstall it even if it would be the same version.
Part of Red Hat Enterprise Linux added value is the support center. I highly recommend contacting Red Hat directly https://access.redhat.com/support next time.

I've been having trouble finding info on how to install a utility library like fasd on amazon linux.
https://github.com/clvv/fasd
I have found repositories for SUSE, RHEL, and other yum based distros. But being a bit of a newb to amazon linux, I'm not sure if there is a parallel to those distros for getting this on Amazon Linux.
Here is the instruction from ArchLinux AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=fasd-git
It looks like you can just clone the repo (https://github.com/clvv/fasd) and do a make install.
I did go through some articles about migrating to CentOS but not specifically from Fedora to CentOS. I'd like to know the steps and measures to follow
I don't think there is a migration path from CentOS to Fedora or vise versa. even though both systems share the same codebase CentOS is way older than Fedora. I used to be a distro hopper way back, but I kept the /home directory in a different drive so I could install any distro I wanted and keep my data and configuration files intact. You should consider doing the same.
How to install rvm(ruby) on RHL7 using centos repo.
I know if we are using centos repository we should be using centos OS and not RedHat, but we have a proprietary software that require Redhat.
when I try to install ruby 1.93 using rvm I got this:
rvm install 1.9.3
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: redhat/6/x86_64/ruby-1.9.3-p551.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more information on binary rubies.
Checking requirements for redhat.
Unable to locate SystemId file. Is this system registered?
Our client does not have registered system with redhat, So I did configure centos repository.
But how can I tell RVM to use this centos repository?
I managed the problem running:
rvm autolibs read-only
In that way rvm do not try to download the dependencies from redhat. But it tell us what is missing, so we can install what is missing manually with yum install from centos repository.
RedHat uses the concept of software collection to offer update packages for Ruby, Python, etc:
softwarecollections
For your case, they have software collection for Ruby193 and Ruby22.
On each page you will find instructions on how to use it.
