Endless Lifecycle
Support for Python 2.7
Continue to use existing Python 2.7 software on AlmaLinux, Rocky, or Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 9 securely. TuxCare’s ELS 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, and 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 Backporting
Python 2.7 with EL9
Backporting any code version 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 and communicate confidence with
their clients while having 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.
Create a solid migration of code without jeopardizing client stability.
Continue to receive CVE updates well beyond the manufacturer's EOL date.
