CentOS 7 Support End of Life

CentOS 7, which is widely used by many companies, has become a hot topic since it was announced that support for CentOS 7 will end on June 30, 2024, and the end of support is now approaching.

There are several possible ways to deal with the expiration of support for CentOS 7, but if an OS that is compatible with the existing CentOS 7 as much as possible is used, it is necessary to consider migrating to an alternative CentOS OS.

The larger the system size, the longer the transition period will be.

What are the risks after CentOS 7 support ends?

Although it is possible to continue to use CentOS 7 server environment after the end of support for CentOS 7, there are various risks involved as follows.

However, the following risks will still be present: - Increased risk of attacks because security patches and updates will not be provided.

Fixes for OS defects and updates of functions will not be provided.

Software compatibility issues may prevent the use of a working system.

Official documentation will no longer be updated and expert support will no longer be available.

If it is difficult to deal with the migration immediately, it is possible to use paid extended support or security products, but these measures will only be temporary, and ultimately it is essential to migrate to an OS that will continue to be supported.
