CentOS 7 has reached end of life, and no further updates or security patches will be provided.
CentOS Linux was a community-driven, free rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux source code, providing a stable and predictable platform for servers and enterprise workloads. CentOS offered binary compatibility with RHEL, making it a popular choice for organizations seeking enterprise-grade stability without the associated subscription costs. With the shift to CentOS Stream, the traditional CentOS Linux model of point-release rebuilds has been discontinued. CentOS Stream now serves as a rolling-release distribution positioned upstream of RHEL, providing a preview of what will be included in the next RHEL minor release.
