RHEL end of support
This document provides an overview of the end of support (EOS) process for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) operating systems running on Trusted Cloud by S3NS.
EOS versions
- RHEL 7: EOS on June 30, 2024.
- RHEL 6: EOL on November 30, 2020.
How will this EOS impact my existing virtual machine (VM) instances
Your current VMs that are running the EOS versions are not affected. After
the EOS date, you can still start or stop your existing VMs that are using these
images.
However, your projects might be at risk because you are running
a version of RHEL that is no longer receiving security updates.
What do I need to know
After this date, the following changes take effect:
- EOS RHEL versions are still available but are marked as deprecated.
- For your existing PAYG RHEL VMs that use an EOS version, limited technical
support is available through Trusted Cloud by S3NS.
What do I need to do
- Review the
lifecycle stage documentation.
- If you need to create VMs that use any of these EOS versions after
the EOS date, make copies of the images
that are available in your projects.
- Plan and migrate your workloads and applications to RHEL 8. Or, if you want
to continue using the EOS RHEL versions, see
Appending RHEL ELS licenses.
