Unable to add repo on CENTOS 7 or 8

tried to add community repo to both centos 7 and 8.
on both of them a was not able.
i used this guide http://docs.opennebula.io/5.12/deployment/opennebula_installation/repositories.html#repositories

p.s ubuntu 18 repo worked fine.

centos 7 error when i run yum makecache fast

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown),
and yum doesn’t have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work “fix” this:

 1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.

 2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
    upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
    distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
    packages for the previous distribution release still work).

 3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled
        yum --disablerepo=<repoid> ...

 4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum
    will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it
    again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:

        yum-config-manager --disable <repoid>
    or
        subscription-manager repos --disable=<repoid>

 5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
    Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
    so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
    slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
    compromise:

        yum-config-manager --save --setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true

Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel/x86_64. Please verify its path and try again

when i tried on centos 8 i get this error

OpenNebula Community Edition 0.0 B/s | 0 B 00:00
Errors during downloading metadata for repository ‘opennebula’:

Hello

Please remove the opennebula repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/opennebula.repo

The error you describe only appears when you mistakenly added the Enterprise Edition repo.

Remove the repo as above and then add the Community Edition below and it will work.

I have added a list of your error when adding the 2 editions.
Hope that helps.
