Dear Customer:

Thank you for your continuous support and trust in our services! In order to provide a more stable and secure operating system environment, we would like to release the instructions for CentOS 7.x version, and clarify the following points:

1. CentOS 7.x version relationship:

The CentOS 7.x series from CentOS 7.0 to CentOS 7.9 is based on the source code of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7. In this series, CentOS 7.0 through 7.8 have undergone several updates and fixes over time, and CentOS 7.9 is the final release in the series, incorporating all of the major updates, security patches, and performance improvements from the previous releases.

2. Why do you recommend installing CentOS 7.9?

Security: CentOS 7.9 is the final stable release of the CentOS 7 series and will continue to receive official security updates and technical support until June 2024. CentOS 7.9 includes all of the key security fixes and improvements over earlier releases and is ideal for running in production environments.

Long-Term Support: CentOS 7.9 provides stable long-term support to ensure system compatibility and security for years to come.

Compatibility and Stability: CentOS 7.9 is a well-tested and stable release that guarantees compatibility with most popular applications and services, and provides high stability over the long term.

3. Notes on Other Versions:

Since there are no major feature differences between the various versions of the CentOS 7.x series, we strongly recommend that all customers choose CentOS 7.9 as their standard operating system environment. Official support and security updates are no longer available for other releases (e.g., CentOS 7.0 through 7.8), so we no longer provide installation, upgrade, or technical support services for these releases.

4. Conclusion:

To ensure the security, stability and long-term support of your server system, we recommend that you choose CentOS 7.9 as your operating system version. We will continue to provide the necessary support and services for CentOS 7.9 to ensure that you will not encounter any version problems during the operation.

Thank you for your understanding and support! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

We are pleased to announce the release of CentOS 7.9.
