CentOS 7

About CentOS 7

CentOS 7 is a reliable, enterprise-grade Linux distribution built as a downstream clone of RHEL® 7. Known for its long-term support cycle and robust performance, CentOS 7 has powered countless enterprise environments. Although it officially reached End of Life (EOL) on July 1, 2024, it remains a valuable option for users needing backward compatibility, migration staging, or legacy software testing.

1. Based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
2. Supports legacy applications and environments.
