That’s in favor of the rolling-release development of CentOS Stream exclusively on December 31, 2021.

As part of a change in the way Red Hat supports and develops CentOS, Red Hat announced that it was shifting away from stable builds of CentOS. It turns out that CentOS 8 was not the problem per se. That’s even more surprising considering that developers have already promised support until 2024 for CentOS 7. CentOS 8 support is ending in December 2021. That’s what has led to CentOS becoming a mainstay OS that administrators can count on.įor that reason, the December 2020 announcement from The CentOS Project came as a shock to many. A combination of excellent features, rock-solid performance stability, and the backing from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Project. There will, however, be no more updates to the CentOS Linux 8 content after that time.Īdditionally, with this deadline falling during a time when many of our team, as well as many of our users, will be out of the office, we intend to bend the usual EOL process by keeping this content available until January 31st.Īt that time, or in the event of a serious security bug in this time window (Defined as anything with a VCSS v3 score of 9 or greater), this content will be removed from our mirrors, and moved to where it will be archived permanently, since we will not be able to provide updates to the content after the EOL date.For many years, the community-driven free software effort focused on delivering a robust open-source ecosystem around the Linux platform, CentOS, was beloved by Linux-savvy users. We will be providing this content as part of the final CentOS Linux 8 release. The release of a RHEL point release is often accompanied, immediately afterwards, by a set of zero-day updates.

We will be shipping a rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.5 once it is released, even if that means that this is released slightly after the EOL date. In line with the EOL of previous releases, we will NOT be automatically migrating anyone to the next version (which is CentOS Stream 8 in this case). CentOS Linux 8 will reach End Of Life (EOL) on December 31st, 2021.
