An unsupported operating system is a ticking time bomb.
Linux kernels, libraries, and packages are no longer getting updated when a Linux distribution enters into an end of life state. That puts your servers, your data, and your business at risk of a cyberattack.
Protect your servers and stay compliant with Extended Lifecycle Support services from TuxCare. A simple, affordable monthly fee buys you the time you need to migrate to a supported operating system or to upgrade to the newest version of your current Linux flavor.
