CentOS 7 reached end of life on June 30, 2024. We advise those running CentOS 7 to get CentOS 7 extended support to keep your systems protected while you plan a migration. OpenLogic's CentOS LTS (also called CentOS long-term support) gives you access to not just CentOS 7 updates and patches, but tested and signed packages that pass scans.
OpenLogic has a wealth of experience in facilitating enterprise CentOS Linux migrations to Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Fedora, and more. Talk to an expert today to see how we can help make your CentOS Linux migration a success.
Yes! OpenLogic prides itself on being solution agnostic. That means we recommend the best Linux distribution for you, no matter what. Whether you are seeking a proprietary or open source operating system, we can help you decide which distro makes the most sense for your business.
CentOS 7 extended support will be available for 5 years after community EOL, so until December 31, 2029.
Yes, we can assist you with your CentOS to AlmaLinux migration! CentOS Linux migrations can be tricky, but our experts have successfully helped many companies transition off CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux smoothly.
Whether you're interested in moving from CentOS to Rocky or still have not selected your next distro, our Professional Services team can help. Popular CentOS migration paths include:
- CentOS to Ubuntu
- CentOS to Rocky Linux
- CentOS to AlmaLinux
- CentOS to Debian
- CentOS to CentOS Stream
- CentOS to Oracle Linux
Contact us if you are exploring a Linux distribution not on this list!
Yes! A CentOS to Oracle Linux migration is a little more complicated than a CentOS to Rocky Linux or CentOS to AlmaLinux migration, but may make sense if your organization is already using other Oracle products. We can walk you through all the necessary steps and based on your resources/bandwidth, put together a roadmap so you can execute your CentOS to Oracle Linux migration on a schedule that works for your organization.
And of course, you can remain on CentOS 7 through 2029 with CentOS extended support from OpenLogic in the meantime.
It is, but keep in mind that a CentOS to Ubuntu migration is really a rebuild. The process to migrate from CentOS to Ubuntu entails backing up all your data, rebuilding the server with Ubuntu, installing the same applications, and then copying and importing the data.
The same is true of Debian — a CentOS to Debian migration is not impossible, but requires standing up a new system and then migrating your data since CentOS and Debian are not binary compatible and have different upstreams.
While tools like ELevate and Leapp are designed to facilitate in-place upgrades, they only are useful in certain scenarios and a lot can still go wrong.
For example, you could use Leapp or ELevate to move from CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8, or CentOS 7 to Rocky Linux 8, but depending on the amount of customization that you have on your systems, these tools may or may not fully work.
There's also a good chance that your system will be left in a hybrid state where there are EL 7 packages installed as well as EL 8 packages, which will make replicating issues very difficult.
So while migrating from CentOS 7 to Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux is less complicated than, say, a CentOS to Debian migration, we still have seen many folks run into unexpected problems along the way.
