Virtual Workshop
12:30 PM - 2:00 PM SGT | 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM AEST | 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM IST
With the CentOS Linux® 7 end of life approaching in June 2024, organizations currently face a choice. CentOS Linux users must migrate to a new operating system to continue receiving updates, patches, and new features.
While implementing a new operating system may seem tedious, it also presents an opportunity to reassess your organization’s needs and choose a platform that will better support your business and IT strategies now and in the future.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux brings a range of benefits to simplify fleet management, improve security, and reduce risk for your organization.
Convert2RHEL is a no-cost, fully supported migration tool that simplifies the CentOS migration process while maintaining existing customizations, configurations, and preferences. It’s an automated way to convert to Red Hat Enterprise Linux — instead of manually redeploying all your workloads.
Join Red Hat® to discuss and prepare for the upcoming CentOS Linux end of life, and get hands-on with the Convert2RHEL tool.
TOPICS COVERED:
- CentOS Linux end of life
- Why choose Red Hat Enterprise Linux?
- Introduction to Convert2RHEL and demo
- Convert2RHEL hands-on lab
