Building CentOS 8

A CentOS major release takes a lot of planning and changes in tooling as it is based on a much newer version of Fedora than previous versions. About the only item which has not drastically changed between EL7 and EL8 is the init system which is still systemd. [This is a first as EL5 had SysV, EL6 had Upstart, and EL7 had Systemd].
