3. Description:

In accordance with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Errata Support Policy,
Extended Update Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 will be retired as
of November 30, 2018, and active support will no longer be provided.
Accordingly, Red Hat will no longer provide updated packages, including
Critical Impact security patches or Urgent Priority bug fixes, for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7.3 EUS after November 30, 2018. In addition, on-going
technical support through Red Hat's Customer Experience and Engagement will
