IT infrastructures can become extremely complex. Trying to manage disparate systems, with changing business demands and an ever-evolving market, impacts your day-to-day. While some community distributions help to keep the lights on, there are other solutions, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which will provide the value and confidence needed to evolve your infrastructure strategy while remaining flexible, stable, and secure. If you’re migrating from CentOS Linux, you can continue to use many of the same techniques and elements while gaining more features, tools, support, and value with minimal retraining.
Join us in this four-part webinar series as we share the benefits and advantages of migrating from a community Linux® distribution to Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®. We encourage you to attend each session to fully understand the benefits of migrating and the support Red Hat can offer.
- Webinar #1 - CentOS Linux has reached its end of life. Prepare for vulnerabilities.
- Webinar #2 - Three steps to standardizing your infrastructure on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- Webinar #3 - Enhancing your operational security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- Webinar #4 - Understanding the Red Hat Enterprise Linux product life cycle
Webinar 1
CentOS Linux has reached its end of life. Prepare for vulnerabilities.
Today’s IT landscape requires efficient innovation and adaptability, but it can be challenging. IT organizations have to balance existing system maintenance with new innovation and technology modernization efforts—without causing friction between IT teams. And if you’re running CentOS Linux or other community distributions, you may need to implement an unanticipated operating system (OS) migration.
In this session, we’ll discuss the end of life of CentOS Linux and the new focus of the CentOS Project. Then we’ll take a look at your conversion methods and additional resources that can make your next project easier.
In this webinar, we’ll cover:
- The end of life of CentOS Linux
- What is CentOS Stream?
- Conversion methods
- No-cost and low-cost access to RHEL

Webinar 2
Three steps to standardizing your infrastructure on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
IT environments today are complex, and dealing with multiple Linux OS only adds to the complexity. Standardizing on a single Linux OS can boost operational efficiency by consistently deploying workloads across diverse IT environments, including in the cloud, on-premise, in containers, or at the edge. By standardizing on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you can amplify business agility, establish a strong security posture, and address skills gaps with resources, tools, and expert access.
In this session, we’ll introduce three ways to modernize and standardize your Red Hat® Enterprise Linux environment that leads to streamlined automation and management as well as accelerated application development and deployment.
In this webinar we’ll cover:
- Convert2RHEL: Convert to a single platform to empower IT teams to share knowledge and work together on development and deployment as well as efficiently move applications and workloads across footprints.
- LEAPP: In-place upgrades give you access to all the latest functionality.
- Red Hat Insights: Detect risk automatically and follow prescribed guidance to reduce downtime.

Webinar 3
Enhancing operational security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux
One of the most concerning aspects of community Linux distributions is the lack of enterprise support for vulnerabilities. With the recent end of life of CentOS Linux, now is the time to evaluate your Linux distribution choices before facing the inevitable security risks. During this session you will learn about the various tools and processes you can follow with Red Hat Enterprise Linux to better secure and monitor your environments.
In this webinar we’ll cover:
- What are CVEs and how do you evaluate their risk?
- The importance of live kernel patching (kpatch).
- Simplified and proactive remediation with Red Hat Insights.

Webinar 4
Understanding the Red Hat Enterprise Linux product life cycle
June 2024 saw major changes to the Linux operating system (OS) landscape. We saw CentOS Linux 7 go end of life, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 enter its extended lifecycle phase, and multiple other changes in the market. What do these changes mean for your organization?
In this webinar, we will discuss what changed these past few months, the RHEL predictable release cadence, and life cycle offerings like extended update support (EUS) and extended lifecycle support (ELS).
In this webinar, we’ll cover:
- Changes to the Linux operating system landscape
- RHEL predictable life cycle
- Extended life cycle support (ELS) and Extended update support (EUS)
