CentOS server migration solution

2024.6.30 CentOS 7 support ended

With the end of development of CentOS 7, support will end (EOL) on June 30, 2024, which is a big issue for many users.

Even after support for CentOS 7 ends, it is possible to continue using a server environment using CentOS 7, but various security risks will increase, such as security patches and updates not being provided.

We recommend data migration of the server environment with plenty of time in your schedule.

Possible risks after CentOS 7 support ends

● Target from attacker ●


Security patches for vulnerabilities will no longer be provided or updated, increasing the possibility of attacks exploiting security holes.

● ​Increase in system troubles ●


No new features or security features will be added, increasing the risk of disruption to running systems and applications.

● Increase in operation and maintenance costs ●


Operating costs may increase, such as maintenance to maintain end-of-support systems and applications.

Cloud/server design/construction/migration

In order to design and build a new cloud/server environment according to the customer's system requirements, once the infrastructure design, such as the number of hosts, specifications, installed OS/middleware versions, subnets, and security policies, has been defined, We will build the cloud/server based on the details of the infrastructure design.

After completing the construction of the new cloud/server environment, we will perform data migration from the current system environment to the new system environment. Of course, we will also thoroughly check important points such as whether the data in the database is reflected without any problems and whether there are any problems with the operation of the system.

Once the data migration to the cloud/server environment is complete, we will provide you with a set of login information and setting information for the cloud/server.
