3. Description:
In accordance with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Errata Support Policy,
Extended Update Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 was retired as of
November 30, 2017, and active support is no longer provided. Accordingly,
Red Hat will no longer provide updated packages, including Critical Impact
security patches or Urgent Priority bug fixes, for Red Hat Enterprise Linux

We encourage customers to migrate from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 to a
