4 tech tips to simplify IT life cycle planning

Your Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® subscription offers flexible, stable, and security-focused life cycle options to help you create an informed infrastructure strategy while planning for change on your own schedule. Besides visibility into roadmaps, support cycles, and migration tools, you can choose from multiple supported versions to help you improve IT agility and manageability while also focusing on security as your business needs evolve.

Make informed Red Hat Enterprise Linux system upgrade decisions with a long life cycle, including:

• A long major release life cycle that lets you standardize for up to 10 years without worrying about breaking your applications. 
• A Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extended Update Support (EUS) Add-On that gives you the option to extend support—including bug fixes and security patches—so you can upgrade between minor releases less frequently.
• An Extended Life Cycle Support (EUS) Add-On subscription that allows you to extend Red Hat Enterprise Linux support beyond 10 years so you can strategically plan operating system (OS) life cycle transitions with predictable schedules and clear Red Hat guidance.
