Just a message to remind everyone that CentOS-5 has an End of Life date of March 31, 2017.
This means that there will be no new security updates released by Red Hat for RHEL-5 after that date.
This is for their main RHEL-5 Tree.
Sometime in early April, the current 5.11 tree will be moved onto vault.centos.org (like CentOS-3 and CentOS-4 have been since their EOL).
For CentOS-5 users that can not shift from EL5 workloads, Red Hat does offer EUS (Extended Update Support) past the 10 year point for RHEL-5. You can see this link for more info on EL5 EUS support:
https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/linux-platforms/enterprise-linux
Actually it's called ELS - Extended Lifecycle support https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata
EUS - Extended Update Support is an add-on for RHEL customers that need patches and updates for Minor releases of RHEL for up to 24 months from GA.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
