We got you covered.
In 2020, we made the END of CentOS 6 a non-event. And last year, we did the same for Ubuntu 16 and Oracle Linux 6. We’ve been supporting older versions of Linux for years, making this a simple task. Today, over 100,000 End of Life Linux nodes are getting security updates and fixes from TuxCare. That number continues to multiply.
In December 2021, we extended the life of CentOS 8 for at least 4 more years. If you’re still running it now, relax. You have a safe haven for CentOS 8 at TuxCare and more time to plan your migrations.
TuxCare’s Extended Lifecycle Support for CentOS 8 includes updates to the kernel and all other critical packages like acpid, glibc, attr, php, info, Iptstate, gdb, glib2, bash, basesystem, authconfig, zlib, acl, dovecot, mysql, ed, gcc, lslk, blktrace, bc, openssh, device-mapper, dhclient, dhcpv6, dmidecode, bzip2, busybox, bridge-utils, httpd, userspace packages, crash, cyrus-imapd, cyrus-sasl
