CentOS is still used widely. One source reports that over 300,000 companies still use It, and almost 800,000 live websites currently use it.

However, with the EOL of CentOS one year ago (to the day of this webinar), nobody has actively maintained the project, meaning it has had no updates, security patches, or bug fixes. So, while stable, many are starting to question its reliability.

In this webinar, we’ll walk through a short history of how we got here and then discuss the options to move on with or without CentOS. We’ll cover:

• CentOS love - the enduring community
• What EOL means for CentOS users
• A walkthrough of CVEs since EOL
• Options to move on or not
