@DustinB I wrote "Upgrading to Rocky 9 on the short term is not an option." Please let me explain why! We are a telco with layered operation model: our team is responsible for virtualisation (VMware/Broadcom, Hyper-V, XCP-ng), another team is responsible for OS operation. The IaaS team is tasked with VMware exit, which means that we must migrate hundreds of VMs from VMware to XCP-ng as quick as possible this year, unchanged, with "lift-and-shift" method. It is a requirement that a VM which runs on VMware should run on XCP-ng, preferably unchanged. Even a simple kernel upgrade causes some delay in our migration plan. We can propose to the OS team that they should migrate to Rocky9, and they might consider and schedule it but it will not happen immediately.
Apart from this organisational reason my experience tells that while upgrading to Rocky9 would most probably solve this issue it would raise others (probably in docker/kubernetes layer or in application layer).
