Overview
AppViewX would like to notify their customers about an important update regarding the
Operating System (OS) support for AppViewX installations. Presently with AppViewX
2020.3.10 and 2022.1.3, we support three Operating Systems:
- CentOS & RHEL 7
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- RHEL 8
Starting from 2022.1.3 (Ganga FP3), we have transitioned from providing the OVAs with CentOS 7 to Ubuntu. This change ensures that our new customers receive continuous support without any complications. However, please be aware that existing customers can still utilize the CentOS OVA until it reaches its EOL in June 2024 but, we strongly encourage customers from CentOS 7 as soon as they are able to.
For a seamless transition, we advise our current customers who are using CentOS to migrate to either the Ubuntu OVA or bring their own Ubuntu/RHEL OS before CentOS reaches its end-of-life (EOL). Detailed migration steps can be found in the sections below.
Attention: Please note that the OVA we currently utilize
is based on Ubuntu 20.04, which will receive standard support until May 2025. Prior to
Ubuntu 20.04 reaching its EOL, we will perform an in-place upgrade to OS version 22.04.
This upgrade process is straightforward and does not require complex procedures such as
backup restoration, ensuring convenience for our customers.
