On June 30th, 2024, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 will transition from Maintenance Life Cycle 2 phase to Extended Life phase. Software maintenance, new bug fixes and security errata will no longer be provided for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 product family. This includes all RHEL7-based and UBI7-based container images, such as rhel7/rhel, ubi7, ubi7/python-38, etc. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Extended Lifecycle Support add-on subscription provides Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 customers with access to limited software updates, and, if desired, these updates should be applied to all rhel7-based and ubi7-based container images in use. For a more complete list of affected container images please see the container component list for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 [1] and Red Hat Universal Base Image 7 on the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog [2].
Please see the following FAQ for more information about the Extended Life Phase and the Extended Lifecycle Support add-on subscription [3].

The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Atomic Base Image is designed to be a fully supported foundation for your custom developed applications which are built and updated rapidly, and don't require the extensive libraries or services in the operating system.This image is maintained by Red Hat and updated regularly, following the latest minor release cadence of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It is designed for containerized applications that don't rely on a full, traditional Linux userspace, but wish to maintain complete runtime compatibility with RHEL. When used as the source for your containers, only one copy will ever be downloaded and cached in your production environment.Use this image just like you would a regular Red Hat Enterprise Linux distribution. Only a minimal set of tools are provided - components such as python, systemd, and yum are not included by default. Extra packages can be installed and updated with a simplified package manager called microdnf.
