Overview
|
||
========
|
||
|
||
With support for the CentOS Distribution discontinued, |deb-prev-prods| has
|
||
moved to the Debian OS Distribution. Debian is a well-established Linux
|
||
Distribution supported by a large and mature open-source community and used by
|
||
hundreds of commercial organizations, including Google. |deb-prev-prods| has
|
||
full functional equivalence to the earlier CentOS-based versions of
|
||
|deb-prev-prods|.
|
||
|
||
The rollout for the transition to Debian is as follows:
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. rubric:: |prod| |deb-510-kernel-release| (RELEASED)
|
||
|
||
* General Availability (GA) Release of CentOS7 |prod| (for production
|
||
deployments)
|
||
|
||
* Moved to 5.10 kernel, which will be used by the upcoming Debian-based
|
||
release.
|
||
|
||
.. rubric:: |prod| |deb-eval-release|
|
||
|
||
|
||
|prod| |deb-eval-release| was a general Availability (GA) Release of CentOS7
|
||
|prod| for production deployments. It was the last release of a CentOS7
|
||
–based |prod|.
|
||
|
||
|prod| |deb-eval-release| inherited the 5.10 version of the Linux kernel
|
||
introduced in |prod| |deb-510-kernel-release|.
|
||
|
||
|prod| |deb-eval-release| was also a technology Preview Release of Debian |prod|
|
||
for evaluation purposes.
|
||
|
||
|prod| |deb-eval-release| release ran Debian Bullseye (11.3). It was limited in
|
||
scope to the |AIO-SX| configuration. |deb-dup-std-na|
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. rubric:: Debian |prod| General Availability
|
||
|
||
|
||
|this-ver| makes Debian |prod| generally available for production deployments.
|
||
|
||
This release runs Debian Bullseye 11.3 or later with full functional equivalence
|
||
to the CentOS-based |prod|.

||
|
||
.. include:: /_includes/deb-tech-preview.rest
|

:start-after: begin-prod-an-1
|
||
:end-before: end-prod-an-1
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. rubric:: In-service upgrade paths for |prod|
|
||
|
||
* |prod| |deb-510-kernel-release| running CentOS ==> |prod| |deb-eval-release| running CentOS ==> |prod| Debian general availability release
|
||
|
||
or
|
||
|
||
* |prod| |deb-510-kernel-release| running CentOS ==> |prod| |this-ver| Debian general availability release
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
|
||
There is no upgrade paths related to the |prod| |deb-eval-release|
|
||
Debian Technology Preview release.
|
||
|
||
The |prod-long| |deb-eval-release| Debian Technology Preview allows you to
|
||
evaluate and prepare for the Debian-based General Availability release while
|
||
continuing to run your production deployment on CentOS-based |prod-long|. It is
|
||
strongly recommended that you perform a complete assessment of |prod| and your
|
||
application running on |prod| in a lab setting to fully understand and plan for
|
||
any changes that may be required to your application when you migrate to
|
||
Debian-based |prod| the |prod| Debian General Availability release in a
|
||
production environment.
