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?
