Signs You Might Not Know Your RHCOS Version (and Why That's a Big No-No)

Let's face it, nobody wants to be that person at the programmer rodeo admitting they, uh, forgot their RHCOS version. Here's a quick checklist to see if you're at risk:

  • You refer to your RHCOS as "that thingy with the containers."
  • You answer version inquiries with a shrug and a nervous whistle.
  • Your monitor displays a popup that reads, "RHCOS Update Required: Please update to avoid using a dinosaur version." (Okay, that last one might be a bit dramatic, but you get the point.)

Knowing your RHCOS version is crucial for security patches, compatibility checks, and generally staying on top of your digital corral. So, let's wrangle those version details, shall we?
