Extended Update Support
The Extended Update Support Add-On for Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® offers a lifecycle option for customers by extending the support interval for support pack releases.
Extend your update support period
For those organizations that want to stay on a particular snapshot for an extended period of time, Red Hat offers the Extended Update Support Add-On, which extends the support period of a Red Hat Enterprise Linux update for up to 24 months and delivers overlapping release support to give enterprise customers more flexibility.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux lifecycle
Red Hat Enterprise Linux lifecycle includes minor releases during the Production 1 phase that introduce new features and new hardware support. Production 2 and Production 3 phase minor releases don't include new features, and each minor release is cumulative.

The Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS) Add-On is available for renewal customers who need to continue use of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4 in a supported configuration.
