Migrate from CentOS Linux to Red Hat Enterprise Linux on AWS

Choose an operating system and cloud provider that support your business initiatives

Organizations that use CentOS Linux® — a freely available, self-supported Linux distribution — now face a choice. The CentOS Project discontinued updates, patches, and releases of CentOS Linux as of June 2024. As a result, CentOS Linux users must migrate to a new operating system to continue receiving updates and patches, and to avoid exposing their organization to potential security breaches.

The discontinuation of CentOS Linux provides an opportunity to move to an operating system that better supports your cloud initiatives. Red Hat® Enterprise Linux via Amazon Web Services (AWS) delivers an intelligent, production-grade hybrid cloud foundation for innovation that supports business outcomes. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a consistent, intelligent operating foundation for modern IT and enterprise hybrid cloud deployments.
