What is Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Third Party Linux Migration?

CentOS Linux 7 reached its end of life (EOL) on June 30, 2024. Systems still running CentOS Linux 7 have stopped receiving software updates and patches from the CentOS community, and are now exposed to significant security risks. 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Third Party Linux Migration is a new offering designed to make Red Hat Enterprise Linux more accessible to CentOS Linux users with a competitively priced subscription and a simplified conversion process. For organizations that need more time past the EOL date, this offering is also available with up to four years of security patches and updates to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 so you can maintain consistency in your environment until you’re ready to upgrade to a newer version.

It also provides a simplified path for upgrading to a more current version of the OS on your timeline.

Additional four years of extended maintenance
