Hello.

Rocky Linux 8 is the major version. It is common to refer to "Rocky Linux 8" in general. The assumption, however, is you are using the latest version of Rocky Linux 8, which is 8.10.

What the statement you've quoted means is this (as an example):

Rocky Linux 8.9 is not supported as 8.10 was released. This means 8.10 is the latest minor version of Rocky Linux 8. This can be observed in the "Current Supported Releases" section of the wiki.
Rocky Linux 8, as a whole, goes end of life on May 31, 2029.

Could you elaborate a bit more on your question?

hello, experts

I refer to following link to ask question about EOL of Rocky Linux 8

https://wiki.rockylinux.org/rocky/version/

 

Major version' EOL is May 31, 2029, and frequent minor version updates.

In actual work, for the business continuity, is it possible to use the major version of Rocky Linux 8 as the benchmark and shut down for OS upgrade?


Remarks:

 End of Life and Unsupported Release/Version Policy:

A release or version of Rocky Linux is considered unsupported if:

  • The Rocky Linux minor version has been superseded by another minor release or
  • The Rocky Linux release is End of Life


I hope to get your reply.

Thank you.
