CIQ Offers LTS for Rocky Linux 8.6, 8.8, and 9.2 Images on AWS

CIQ is extending the life of Rocky Linux point releases with CIQ long-term support (LTS) for Rocky Linux 8.6, 8.8, and 9.2 images on AWS. This ensures organizations can easily leverage Rocky Linux while meeting their long-term operating system support needs for security and compliance. Whether organizations require bug fixes and security patches in the latest version of a CIQ-built Rocky Linux image or seek 24/7, personalized, full lifecycle support delivered by our engineering team, CIQ simplifies the process to make it as easy as possible.

Through AWS Marketplace, customers can subscribe for 24/7 access to the latest images of Rocky Linux point releases: cloud images are engineered by CIQ for mission-critical enterprise workloads, optimized for AWS, and integrated into CIQ Mountain for continuous access to security and bug fixes.

CIQ LTS for Rocky Linux is a subscription service available to anyone with an AWS account. LTS subscribers have self-service access to the updated images and do not need to contact CIQ or have an enterprise-level support license to use them, making it simple and easy to maintain operating system security and compliance.

LTS support for each image lasts for 18 months after the release is retired from the open source Rocky Linux project. This makes a CIQ LTS for Rocky Linux subscription ideal for organizations who want to remain on their version of Rocky Linux, even when it is no longer supported by the public project.

CIQ also offers enterprise-level support for Rocky Linux delivered directly from CIQ engineers. This includes escalation support, customization, optimization, integration, and professional services. This support is designed to meet the needs of organizations that require a stable and secure operating system with a support lifecycle that extends 10 years after each release date. Enterprise-level support is ideal for companies that run mission-critical applications and need to ensure that their systems are always up-to-date and secure. It is also ideal for organizations that need a custom version of Rocky Linux for a particular use case; CIQ will create that custom offering and support it as if it were the base Rocky Linux.
