Hello,
I just receive this email from OVHCloud regarding the end-of-life of their CloudLinux Installation-Template.
> Dear Customer,

I dont know if the deadline is the 8 March 2021 or the 3 August 2021… do you know that ?
I confess that I am a bit surprise as OVHCloud is a paradise for web-hosting provider (resellers)… I mean, regarding to the price (value for money) of their servers. And CloudLinux is a must!
Maybe its a mistake from OVH ?
Maybe they talk about an old "installation template", and they will restore CloudLinux to their columns after updating their template?
Or maybe they really want to save time, by not maintaining too much distributions? (I can understand, because they rent material at low prices)
If so, I guess that it means, for the next servers, we must go for "Centos 7 OVH Template", then convert it to CloudLinux directly ? Or you really recommend to follow the official CloudLinux ISO Image Procedure ?
Whats your thoughts ?
Thanks!
