Choosing CentOS, AlmaLinux, or Rocky: versions, EOL, and migration

Andrew Dorokhov schedule 1 min read

Since CentOS 7 will be maintained till the 30th of June 2024, I prefer to use this OS instead of using the last (CentOS 8).

Version	End-Of-Life
7	30 June 2024
6	30 Nov 2020

To check what version you have, just type:

cat /etc/centos-release

Example of output:

CentOS release 6.10 (Final)
