CentOS Linux has been discontinued and is not safe to use anymore. Read the information on upgrade and migration options.

Work on CentOS Linux 8 ceased at the end of 2021 as Red Hat shifted focus to CentOS Stream.

Commercial long term support for CentOS 6, 7, and 8 post end-of-life is available at OpenLogic by Perforce.

More information is available on the CentOS website.
