Support for RedHat Enterprise Linux RHEL 6 after November 30, 2020
A customer is on Enterprise Support who wants to know what the support situation is for their RHEL 6 EC2 instances after Nov 2020. I see that RedHat has the following posted on their site.
End of Maintenance Support or Maintenance Support 2 (Product retirement) for RHEL 6 is November 30, 2020 https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#Life_Cycle_Dates
"ELS will be available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 starting with its retirement (November 30, 2020) until June 30, 2024" https://access.redhat.com/solutions/690063
Is Extended Life Cycle Support something the customer will need to purchase separately, or does AWS provide ongoing support as part of Enterprise Support?
I'm not certain, but I think they have RHEL images by AWS from the marketplace.
Thanks!

ELS is a separate support channel and our on-demand images are standard server entitlements only, without the ability to use additional paid support channels, like ELS. Customers who intend to continue using RHEL 6 after the product retirement with full product support from Red Hat must migrate to RHEL 6 using the Red Hat Cloud Access program in order to support the add-on for ELS.
If the customer just wants to run RHEL 6, without the full add-on support, the standard server entitlement for the on-demand images is sufficient entitlement to run RHEL 6 without the add-on for ELS. Without ELS, there will be no access to the Red Hat Update Infrastructure RHEL 6 repositories, so customers who choose to do continue to use the images will need to sync the repositories prior to retirement to continue to have access to the binaries.
