How to Face CentOS End-of-Life Challenges

Open source software has become a critical variable in modern enterprise technology environments. Enterprises especially depend on Linux — the biggest open source project of all — to power their business operations. By extension, they depend on a healthy, thriving open source ecosystem, first and foremost around Linux, but also a wide range of other software and tools.

Previously announced changes to CentOS mean that it will reach end-of-life on June 30, 2024, with no additional support or updates forthcoming. This causes challenges for enterprises that rely on CentOS, such as lack of support and security, and lack of software compatibility. But "end-of-life" does not mean end of the road. SUSE knows the importance of keeping up with the spirit of open source.
