The lifecycle for the RHEL 8 Application Streams is publicly documented here:

https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhel8-app-streams-life-cycle

Ruby 2.5 is supported until May 2029.

However, CentOS Linux 8 will be going EOL on December 31, 2021.  Users
are strongly encouraged to migrate to CentOS Stream 8.
