Is it really a feature if you're taking something away? In this case, we're sad to see our longtime friend CentOS exit stage left.
On December 31st, 2021 CentOS will reach the end of life. After this date, no updates to our images will be applied. To help you prepare, we've released alternatives including AlmaLinux and (soon) Rocky Linux.
Here's how it's gonna go down
Our current CentOS images will be available through our portal and API for the next few months.
- On March 17th, 2022 we'll remove CentOS from our API and portal.
- At that point, you'll only be able to deploy CentOS images through your own Custom iPXE or through our legacy image process.
- These legacy images will be available through December 31st, 2022.
- After this date, the images will be deleted.
That's it!
