Extending ELS Offering to
Python 2.7 for EL9
Continue to use existing Python 2.7 software on AlmaLinux, Rocky, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. The TuxCare ELS program for Python 2.7 enables you to continue using your existing software as before, on a modern platform that satisfies your compliance requirements, while you receive security updates for high and critical vulnerabilities.
The need for the bridge between Python 2.x and 3.0
Software written in python 2.7 cannot run on new platforms that are necessary for enabling compliance requirements, e.g., deprecation of insecure cryptographic algorithms, support of secure communication protocols such as TLS 1.3. At the same time many of these applications are still relevant and needed but moving to Python 3.x will either be too late, or the investment in development and QA may not justify the value.
Does your DevOps team need to deploy Python 2.7 applications on EL9, or do you plan to move to AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux?
What can we do to help with your
application transformation journey?
Challenges with Backport Python 2.7 with EL9
Backport any version code requires expertise and experience. Clients needing this bridge require several support layers, including extended support for present and future CVEs. TuxCare, a global Linux and Open Source patching firm with real-world experience, can help.
Capturing your technical needs today
TuxCare offers similar code bridge capabilities for PHP and other applications requiring extended support beyond the manufacturers lifecycles. Application teams need time to develop their next-gen code, communicate confidence with their clients, and the ability to extend the life of their solution, and maintain the highest security.
ELS from TuxCare buys you the time needed while providing the required updates to keep your client secure during your application transformation.
Extend your timeline for development without rushing clients to upgrade prematurely.
Create a solid migration of code without jeopardizing client stability.
Continue to receive CVE updates well beyond the manufacturer's EOS date.
