This work has now been completed
We are updating/changing the lifecycle dates for RedHat Enterprise Linux (Server) product Major and Minor releases in Technopedia (Full details attached).
End of Life and Obsolete date Changes for major versions:
We are going to consider the Maintenance Support or Maintenance Support 2 phase as EOL and Obsolete date for all Major versions i.e., RHEL 7, 8 and 9
Reference for lifecycle dates - https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata
Example:
For Major Version RHEL 7, EOL and Obsolete will be “6/30/2024”
End of Life and Obsolete date Changes for Minor versions:
We are going to consider the successive (Next) release GA date as the End of life of the current Release date and Obsolete will be the major version Obsolete date.
Example:
For Minor Version 7.1, EOL will be “11/19/2015” (GA date of 7.2) as per https://access.redhat.com/articles/3078 and Obsolete will be “6/30/2024” as per https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata
Note: For the final minor release EOL and Obsolete will be the same i.e., OBS date of Major Release
Example:
For the final Minor Release 7.9 under Major version group 7, EOL and Obsolete will be “6/30/2024” which is the OBS date of Major Release RHEL 7.
Release with name (RHEL X) End of Life and Obsolete date Changes:
We are going to consider the EOL and OBS dates of the RHEL X major version.
Example:
Release x.x (RHEL 7) EOL and Obsolete will be “6/30/2024” which is the EOL/OBS date of RHEL Major Release 7.
This change will impact customers who rely upon Technopedia Lifecycle dates from RHEL to manage their EOL and EOS/ Obsolete program and customers who rely on Technopedia Product ID/Release ID & Names and discovered previously mapped data to these packages. The main changes will be to the RHEL Release Lifecycle Date for Version Groups 7, 8, and 9 and the Release Lifecycle Date of Version x.x (RHEL X) in Technopedia.
Customers should expect these changes on OCT 13, 2022
