Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) offers a standard 10-year major version lifecycle, but remaining on older releases comes with progressive limits on support, bug fixes, and security updates. Join us at the next San Antonio Red Hat User Group (RHUG) to examine the operational tradeoffs of staying on legacy RHEL versions versus upgrading.
Key Discussion Topics

  • RHEL Lifecycle Phases: Understanding how support evolves across Full Support, Maintenance Support, and Extended Life Cycle phases.
  • Support & Security Tradeoffs: How feature requests, bug fixes, and security patches shift over time on older major and minor releases.
  • Upgrade Strategy: Why staying on older versions can restrict system capabilities, and when upgrading becomes necessary.
  • Featured Speaker: Carl George, Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat.
