TELL ME MORE
A few things to note for EDB software portfolio support for RHEL 9 derivatives (Rocky Linux 9, AlmaLinux 9, Oracle Linux 9):
- Users of these operating systems will be supported based on the continued position of the projects that they remain binary compatible with RHEL 9.
- EDB will continue to produce and test software on RHEL 9 and reserves the right to require that an issue reported on these distributions is reproduced on RHEL 9 directly.
- Should any of these distributions break the RHEL binary compatibility, EDB would need to reevaluate its position for that platform support.
END OF PLATFORM SUPPORT NOTICE
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL7) and its derivative operating systems (CentOS 7, Oracle Linux 7) will reach the end of its maintenance support in June 2024. EDB software will not be supported on these platforms after this date.
EDB currently supports RHEL 8 and 9 allowing customers to upgrade to a supported option. Please plan to upgrade to a higher supported version. Reach out to EDB Customer Success if you need assistance migrating.
