Why are you giving free technical CentOS support and early access to your repository?

A decision as important as migrating off CentOS 7 requires time. We believe that enterprises use open source to have the freedom to choose which Linux distro is right for them. Providing free, early access enables our customers to set up connections to the repository and conduct testing so they will be confident that their CentOS 7 will remain secure and compliant post end of life. Our CentOS experts are here to help consult with you to determine the best path for your organization.

Can you help me migrate off CentOS 7?

We can assist you in understanding what you need to prepare for migration so that you are positioned for a successful migration. 

How does the RedHat Announcement about RHEL impact my migration options?

In June 2023, RedHat announced they will be limiting access to RHEL code, making it difficult for top CentOS alternatives like Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux to stay 1:1 compatible. When we saw a similar disruption in 2020 with the ending of CentOS for CentOS Stream, we saw new community projects develop. Ultimately, by waiting for things to settle over the next several years, and utilizing our team of experts to stay on top of the latest industry information, you’ll have a clear migration path and more seamless migration experience.
