The Life Cycle page shows planned package support across RHEL releases. You can view installed packages, or both installed and related packages, and generate graphics mapping package lifecycles and statuses by filtering by release name.

For example, you can get tailored information about the package status and development from Application Stream packages, such as PostgreSQL, Python, Nginx, and Ruby. You can examine current versions of the Application Stream lifecycle and get a preview of what is coming to RHEL in future releases.

You can use the Life Cycle page to get information about the following life cycles for your running systems:

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux
• RHEL 8 Applications Streams
• RHEL 9 Applications Streams
• RHEL 10 Applications Streams

  Red Hat Enterprise Linux

  Contains details about the following phases: Full Support, Maintenance Support, and Extended Life Phase. You can also see information on upcoming release dates and minor releases that will receive extended support.

You can use the toggle button to view just the Installed and related RHEL versions or the Installed only RHEL versions. The chart shows the current RHEL versions of your running systems, the corresponding supported years, and the coloured bars to represent information on the RHEL release support:

• Red bar - Shows the retired versions of a RHEL release.
• Yellow bar - Shows RHEL releases with support ending in 3 months.
• Blue bar - Shows RHEL versions that are not installed on your system, but are supported.
• Light blue bar - Represents the upcoming RHEL releases.
• Vertical black bar - Represents the currently supported RHEL version.
• Installed only - The Installed only view shows only the subset of systems where the package is installed, based on the filter that you have applied.
• Installed and related - This view shows the installed packages along with their newer supported versions. For example, if the nginx 1.22 package is installed on the systems, the Installed and related perspective shows the nginx 1.22 package and its newer supported versions. This helps you identify which versions are supported.

The legends are interactive. You can highlight each of them individually.

Under the chart, there is a table showing how many systems are running, the corresponding RHEL version installed, and the current status of the systems under each specific release.

• Red warning - Shows the number of systems with a RHEL version that is no longer supported. If you click the number under the Systems column, you open a table with the impacted systems. If you click a specific system, it takes you to the inventory, where you can check information on the system and take actions to mitigate the issues.
• Yellow warning - Shows the number of systems with RHEL versions that are going to stop receiving support in 6 months. If you click the number under the Systems column, you open a table with the impacted systems. If you click a specific system, it takes you to the inventory, where you can check information on the system and take actions to mitigate the issues.
• Green signal - Shows the systems with a supported RHEL version. If you click the number under the Systems column, you open a table with the currently running systems with RHEL-supported versions.

  RHEL 8, RHEL 9, and RHEL 10 Applications Streams

  These are components that are delivered and updated more frequently than the core operating system packages. It gives you flexibility to customize Red Hat Enterprise Linux without impacting the underlying stability of the platform or specific deployments.

You can use the toggle button to view just the Installed and related packages or the Installed only packages. The chart shows the current RHEL versions of the packages for your running systems, the corresponding supported years, and the coloured bars to represent information on the RHEL release support:

• Red bar - Shows retired packages of a RHEL release.
• Yellow bar - Shows packages with support ending in 6 months.
• Blue bar - Shows the packages that are not installed on your system, and are supported.
• Light blue bar - Represents the upcoming package releases.
• Vertical black bar - Represents the currently supported package version.

The legends are interactive. You can highlight each of them individually.

Under the chart, there is a table showing how many systems are running, the packages currently installed, and the current status of the packages under each specific release.

• Red warning - Shows the number of systems that have a specific retired package. If you click the number under the Systems column, you open a table with the impacted systems. Click a specific system to access the inventory, where you can check information on the system and take actions to mitigate the issues.
• Yellow warning - Shows the number of systems that require some attention. If you click the number under the Systems column, you open a table with the impacted systems. Click a specific system to access the inventory, where you can check information on the package and take actions to mitigate the issues.
• Green signal - Shows the health of systems. Click the number under the Systems column to open a window showing the packages with support for the running systems.
