After a while I believe there were no more updates for Centos 7. What is impressive about this story is that I was able to drag it into the modern era with rocky linux 9 but it was a ... rocky transition. My biggest pain point was when the networking stack was broken and Yum refuses to do ANYTHING without loading sources from the network. I couldn't get around it without flash driving RPMs to the server..

The uptime of the machine was great on Centos, but it came to a point I was afraid to reboot because of the package changes that could apply.

edit: I think some software I was using was EOL'd just for Centos maybe also prompting the switch.
