Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.9 ELS
Hello,
Customer is using RHEL 7.9 image purchased from AWS marketplace. As per the Redhat website below, Maintenance Support for RHEL ends June 30, 2024, while the Extended life cycle support (ELS) add-on ends on June 30, 2028: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#Maintenance_Support_2_Phase
Customer would like to know if they can continue using their current RHEL 7.9 with ELS add-on benefits after June 30,2024. If not what would be the process to include the ELS benefits?
Below AWS document has information about RHEL 6 ELS, but not for RHEL 7.9 with ELS: https://aws.amazon.com/partners/redhat/faqs/
Can someone point me to similar information about RHEL 7.9 ? or provide more information to help the customer.
Thanks, Prashant Gaikwad

Since Red Hat recently announced the ELS for 7, there's no RHEL 7.9 ELS MarketPlace offering currently via AWS. Customer can look into RHEL leap upgrades and upgrade 7.9 to 8.
I am very interested in this question. Does this mean that the ELS add-on for RHEL 7 is not available in AWS? Is the only way to bring in a license with BYOS instead of using Marketplace AMI?
Same ... this still seems to be unresolved. I even opened a support ticket asking, who did not know.

Currently, we do not have a "Sold by AWS" product offering. Once that changes we will update the product listing. I have added this post to our tracking for the initiatives as a place to update with the new information.
