Drop CentOS 7 support in RAPIDS 24.06

[bdice]

We plan to drop CentOS 7 (which uses glibc 2.17) in RAPIDS 24.06. https://docs.rapids.ai/notices/rsn0037/

At this time, the new minimum glibc supported by RAPIDS will become 2.28 (used by Rocky 8), because that is the oldest glibc of any operating system we currently support.

This issue documents some of the work items needed to complete the drop in platform support.

Early 24.06

• Drop test configurations with CentOS 7 (glibc 2.17) and Ubuntu 18.04 (glibc 2.27) from https://github.com/rapidsai/shared-workflows. (We have already dropped Ubuntu 18.04 support.)
  • Drop CentOS 7 from workflows. shared-workflows#192
  • Drop Ubuntu 18.04 from workflows. shared-workflows#205
  • Testing PR: Drop CentOS 7 support. cudf#15323
  • Remove the shared-workflows NEW_MANYLINUX_MATRIX. After dropping CentOS 7, RAPIDS will not build manylinux_2_17 tags. RAPIDS will only produce wheels that support manylinux_2_28 tags but nothing older.
  • Remove build-2_28-wheels option: Remove input for build-2_28-wheels. shared-workflows#195
• Unpin/update GitHub Actions that were pinned to older versions because of updates to GitHub Actions using Node 20 (which does not support CentOS 7)
  • Pin test-summary action to v2.2 to avoid the Node 20 requirement until RAPIDS drops CentOS 7 support. shared-workflows#178
  • Check on shared-workflows PRs from renovate, including (but not limited to):
    • Update aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials action to v4 shared-workflows#134 (comment)
    • Update actions/checkout action to v4 shared-workflows#135 (comment)
  • https://github.com/rapidsai/cudf-pandas-integration/pull/109
• Spark-RAPIDS:
  • [FEA] Drop support for CentOS7 NVIDIA/spark-rapids#10496
  • [BUG] Drop CentOS7 support in 24.06 NVIDIA/spark-rapids-jni#1991
  • Drop Support for CentOS 7 NVIDIA/spark-rapids#10805
  • Drop Centos7 support cudf#15608

Before 24.06 release

• Update various release scripts (especially wheel related ones which key on the manylinux version): tracking issue
  • PRs listed here.
• Update shared-actions to use actions with Node 20 (to avoid deprecation warnings)
  • Update actions/github-script action to v7 shared-actions#9
• Drop centos7 and ubuntu18.04 from the https://github.com/rapidsai/ci-imgs matrix - Remove centos and ubuntu18.04 from ci-imgs matrix ci-imgs#139
  • Not required for release. Wait until 24.04 has shipped (and simmered for a bit, in case hotfixes are needed).
• Drop centos7 from miniforge-cuda matrix: Drop CentOS 7 miniforge-cuda#66

After 24.06 release

• Update installation guide - Remove centos refs from installation guide docs#513
• Update rapids.ai homepage - Remove centos refs from homepage rapids.ai#379

Feel free to edit this checklist with more items.

We talked with Ray and he resolved the remaining issues needed before 24.06 ships

The remaining items are to be done after 24.06 ships

So nothing to do until 24.06 ships
