CentOS 8.5 with Extended Lifecycle Support

Ntegral CentOS 8.5 ELS is a pre-configured Azure VM image designed to support legacy workloads that depend on CentOS 8 compatibility with extended security coverage.

Although CentOS 8 reached end-of-life, Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS) enables continued use by providing critical security updates. This allows organizations to maintain compliance and reduce risk while planning migration to supported platforms such as CentOS Stream, RHEL, or Ubuntu.

With this image, you can deploy a ready-to-use CentOS 8 environment directly from Azure Marketplace—eliminating manual setup and enabling consistent infrastructure for legacy systems.

This makes it ideal for transitional environments, regulated workloads, and phased modernization strategies.
