CentOS Developers,
Has any thought been given to when a version becomes end of life, that the last yum update that would come through with interactive prompts saying this product is end of life, would you like to disable the standard repos and enable the vault repos (Y/n)?
This step is taken care of for the less experienced users who have not had to do this before.
Thoughts?

This is because CentOS 7 has reached the end of its life. You need to modify your configuration to usehttps://vault.centos.org/ instead of the main mirrors.
Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Vault.repo, jump down to the end of the file, where you see c7.9.2009, and enable the sections base, updates, and extras for that version. Insert enabled=1. (This matches the default enables for the original distro.) c7.9.2009 is the last release available.
Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo and add enabled=0 to all sections. (Some optional sections already have this.)
