Upgrade Oracle Enterprise Linux 7 Servers

Upgrade Linux servers version 7 to version 8 before they reach EOL and lose security updates on 12/2/24

Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) 7 is expiring by 12/1, no updates to the OS will be provided post that. Servers will be at risk if we don’t upgrade to version 8. Upgrades will bring all Linux servers to a single flavor/version of the Linux OS thus creating one OS Linux standard, reduce work to secure/maintain Linux servers eliminating the need/work to deploy Defender ATP on Linux version 7. 

Benefits of this project:

  • Improved security 

  • Improved performance of applications 

  • Staying compliant with current infrastructure 

  • Standardized version of Linux OS will help eliminate redundant work for multiple versions of OS
