[$] Elevating CentOS 7 to a new life

CentOS Linux7 was firstreleased in July2014, and is due to go end-of-life (EOL) on June30.By now, anyone who pays attention to such things is aware that Red Hat pulled the plug onCentOSLinux in late2020 to be replaced by CentOS Streaminstead. CentOSLinux8support was wounddown at the end of 2021 rather than in 2029 as originally stated.CentOS Linux7 was allowed to serve out itsfull lifespan-but that EOL is approaching rapidly andthere's no direct upgrade path. Users and organizations looking for a lifeline might want to considerAlmaLinux's ELevateutility, which allows CentOS users to migrate to alternate enterpriseLinux (EL) operating systems.
