After\nthe EOS date, you can still start or stop your existing VMs that are using these\nimages.\n\nHowever, your projects might be at risk because you are running\na version of RHEL that is no longer receiving security updates.\n\nWhat do I need to know\n\nAfter this date, the following changes take effect:\n\n- EOS RHEL versions are still available but are marked as deprecated.\n- For your existing PAYG RHEL VMs that use an EOS version, limited technical support is available through Google Cloud.\n\nWhat do I need to do\n\n1. Review the [lifecycle stage](/compute/docs/images/os-image-lifecycle#lifecycle-stages) documentation.\n2. If you need to create VMs that use any of these EOS versions after the EOS date, [make copies of the images](/compute/docs/images/create-custom) that are available in your projects.\n3. Plan and migrate your workloads and applications to RHEL 8. Or, if you want to continue using the EOS RHEL versions, see [Appending RHEL ELS licenses](/compute/docs/images/premium/rhel/appending-els-licenses).\n\nWhat's next\n\n- Learn more about [images](/compute/docs/images) on Compute Engine.\n- Learn more about the [RHEL operating systems](/compute/docs/images/os-details#red_hat_enterprise_linux_rhel) that are available on Compute Engine."]]
