[rhelv6-list] Announcing General Availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.8

[Engineering Partner Management]

Today, we’re pleased to announce the latest update to the world’s
leading enterprise Linux platform with the general availability of Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 7.8. This release ensures enhanced consistency
and control across cloud infrastructure for IT operations teams while
also providing a suite of modern, supported container creation tools
for enterprise application developers.

Key points to note:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux life cycle
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 has entered its Maintenance Phase as
defined in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10-year life cycle. Minor
releases continue to deliver stability and reliability rather than
adding new features. During this maintenance phase, customers should
begin to plan their upgrade strategy.

Upgrading to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
The Red Hat subscription allows users to deploy the release that suits
their business needs. To facilitate moving to Red Hat Enterprise Linux
8, Red Hat offers tools, including in-place upgrades, which streamline
and simplify the migration. When general availability of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 8.2 is announced, there will be an upgrade path from
7.8.

 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.8 availability

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.8 is available today in the Red Hat
Customer Portal for all customers with active Red Hat Enterprise Linux
subscriptions. To access and download Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.8,
