CentOS Server Migration Solution
2024.6.30 End of support for CentOS 7
With the end of development for CentOS 7, support for it will end (EOL) on June 30, 2024, which is a major issue for many users
Even after support for CentOS 7 ends, it will be 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 that you allow ample time in your schedule to migrate your server environment data
| Possible risks after CentOS 7 support ends | ||
● Targeted by attackers ● Since security patches and updates for vulnerabilities will no longer be provided, the possibility of attacks exploiting security holes increases |
● Increasing system troubles ● New features and security functions will no longer be added, increasing the risk of disrupting the operation of running systems and applications |
● Increased operation and maintenance costs ● There may be increased operational costs, such as maintenance to maintain end-of-life systems and applications |

CentOS Server Migration Solution Contents
Cloud/Server design, construction and migration
In order to design and build a new cloud/server environment that meets the customer's system requirements, after the infrastructure design is defined, including the number of hosts, specifications, OS/middleware version to be installed, subnets, security policies, etc., we then carry out the cloud/server construction work based on the contents of that infrastructure design
After the construction of the new cloud/server environment is complete, we will migrate the data from the current system environment to the new one. Of course, we will also thoroughly check important points such as whether the database data is properly updated and whether there are any problems with the system operation
Once the data migration to the cloud/server environment is complete, we will provide you with a set of login and configuration information for the cloud/server
